Technical Director of the Killzone series has left Sony’s first-party studio and joined Visceral games for an “ambitious” new project.
Guerrilla Games is a studio that is known primarily for one thing and that is the Killzone series. The first-person shooter pits the player against an alien race called the Helghast that bear plenty of similarities to Adolf Hitler’s n***s.
In short, a series where one both defends his planet and then invades the planet that belongs to space n***s. That may raise a few eyebrows but almost everyone who has played the game knows that the story comes second to the visuals and gameplay.
Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 were hugely successful games with some of the most atmospheric environments one can ever find on a gaming console. The latter was honoured with GameSpot’s best multiplayer game award and the latter received a fair amount of rewards itself.
However, Arjan Brussee, who has been at the studio from the very beginning and was an executive producer at the studio, has finally called it time at Guerrilla Games.
The senior member of the studio thanked his staff for all the work they put in on the Killzone trilogy and Shellshock: Nam ’67.
In an email he wrote, “It has been a great ride. Every year there was something ambitious, new and inspiring to put my energy into.”
He went on to concede that the move was for personal reasons as he wanted a new challenge. “For me, I now want to find a new personal challenge, and who knows where this will take me next.”
Apparently, it will ‘take’ him to the sunny shores of California where he is set to join Visceral Games, the studio behind the horrifically enthralling Dead Space games. It is strongly rumoured that he has been brought in to work on a new title but whether that is a new IP or another Dead Space game remains to be seen, though we’re personally rooting for the former.
Mostly because the Dead Space games are terrifying as they are and if Mr. Brussee was to make the haunting atmosphere in the game anymore haunting, we probably would need a new set of pants or maybe even diapers.
