'Killzone 3' Confirmed and Promised

"Killzone 2" turned a a year old in February, and Sony has stayed officially quiet on a potential sequel -- at least until now. "Killzone 3" may not be scheduled to appear at any shows this summer, but it will exist, and Sony's confirmation comes on video from about as high up as it gets along with a promise that we'll all see it -- whether Guerrilla Games makes it next year or in 2014.

"Well, we own Guerrilla Games and they did a great job on 'Killzone 1' and '2,'" Sony America CEO Jack Tretton told GameTrailers TV. "I don't know if you'll see announcements about it, but I can promise you a 'Killzone 3.'"

That means "Killzone" will at least be a trilogy-long franchise, whether it reaches that benchmark on the PlayStation 3 or not. Last week, 1UP.com cited unnamed sources claiming that Guerrilla would have the game ready in time to compete with "Gears of War 3" in April 2011, but if no announcements are planned soon, that may not be in the cards.

Tretton's statement didn't take anything off the table, though, so don't get glum if you were hoping to have a new "Killzone" during the first half of next year. E3 will be a good place to watch if Sony is hiding anything on the subject, since that would be a great place for them to put rumors to rest.
