Word is that Guerilla has been working on a new IP for the last two years. Guerilla themselves have even said they want to deviate away from the Killzone franchise.

Meanwhile, Luc de Haan, a concept artist and illustrator that worked on Killzone: Shadow Fall and Halo Spartan Assault is uploading recent works to a personal blog. Now, the probability of the following images being Guerilla's new IP might be slim, but it could be indicative of the direction. And if the rumors of an open-world RPG are to be believed, this looks about right...

What are your thoughts? I'm getting a Destiny / Feudal Japan / Western vibe from these.

While it looks cool, I kind of feel he wouldn't post this if it actually was.

 

[Xenon]

Destiny DLC?

 

[gift of 100 gab]

While it looks cool, I kind of feel he wouldn't post this if it actually was.

Yeah, I think he or someone else already comfirmed that it's not, iirc. Unfortunately. Looks great.

 

[RoboPlato]

One of the Kotaku editors said it wasn't when he ran an article about this work. I doubt he'd publicly post it otherwise.

Still gorgeous art though. I'd love to see that art style even if those specific designs aren't used. Do we know if this guy actually a GG employee or just a contract artist?

 

[StuBurns]

Incredible art, but looks like Destiny stuff.

 

[BadWolf]

Nice designs.

 

[Gorillaz]

why are the dudes in the last pic wearing space heaters as helmets

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

in a just world yes cause holy shit

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Looks nifty, i'd play a game with art like that.

 

[KojiKnight]

While it looks cool, I kind of feel he wouldn't post this if it actually was.

And yet there are people who post in their linked-in profiles/online resumes their involvement on games that haven't been announced yet fairly regularly. Sometimes people do things like this unintentionally.

I'd say if the images disappear in the next couple hours, we'll pretty much have confirmation.

 

[SephiZack]

Destiny DLC?

Incredible art, but looks like Destiny stuff.

They don't look like something which would be in Destiny, in my opinion.


Anyway, those armors are somehow cool, they're different from usual armors

 

[jonno394]

If that were the IP I would buy a PS4 today, shame it won't be because I really dig the art style and direction.

Man, i'm genuinely gutted that this won't be a thing now ;(

 

[anexanhume]

I want a game in that universe either way.

 

[nelchaar]

I want this to be real, so yes.

 

[Tagyhag]

That looks pretty awesome, wouldn't mind if true. But they need to get away from guns.

 

[Spineker]

Looks like a mixture of Destiny and Warhammer 40k

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

THAT LOOKS AWESOME!

 

[kmax]

Considering how secretive the industry is, I'm sure that any unannounced games are under tight NDA restrictions.

Beautiful concept art, nonetheless.

 

[Timeaisis]

Cool art, but no.

 

[Patryn]

..... Destiny? Is that you?

 

[nded]

Reminds of Warhammer 40K, sort of a space-knight thing going on but much less grimdark. Pretty cool.

 

[kadotsu]

Well as a fan of Saber Rider I'd approve of a game with this style.

 

[MidBoss]

eh, I'll bite. Hype levels needed a boost anyway. Reminds me of Red Alert 3's Japan bots.

 

[Servbot24]

All artists do personal drawings away from work. Most of them very awesome. But none of them of actual games.

 

[KOHIPEET]

Dat second pic!

He'd probably posted it because the game's design is different now, nevertheless, I'm excited for what Guerrilla has in store.

Wasn't this what happened to Bungie with Destiny? Granted, it wasn't an illustrator. But someone involved with Bungie / Activision accidentally leaked some artwork.

Perhaps you're right but crazier things have happened.

 

[StuBurns]

It's that they're both using old Knight armor elements I think, the color palette too though.

 

[dragonbane]

Doubt it. Then again project names leak on LinkedIn all the time.

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

Reminds of Warhammer 40K, sort of a space-knight thing going on but much less grimdark. Pretty cool.

cowboy knights...cowboy knights

 

[PHOTOSHOP]

hate this trend of everything looking so concept artish in todays AAA games. Like Killzone and Warframe. Just keep it simple

 

[Andodalf]

Kongquestadors?

 

[TheKastorian]

Damn, those look beautiful.

 

[Bikola]

Yeah I don't think so. You don't have concept art/assets for unannounced projects lying around for the public to see.

 

[Marc]

Incredible art, but looks like Destiny stuff.

Yep.

Not my kind of thing, doesn't work for me. The capes look cool with the designs, the coats, ponchos and hats... not so much.

Bit silly of me to do, but I was hoping for a more gritty blade runner type looking sci-fi game.

Not long to wait until a reveal I guess, lets see if this concept art is close to the mark or not.

 

[Acosta]

Fantastic design, I would be very interested in a RPG using this style.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Sony have said that one of their IPs was cancelled because it looked and played too much like Destiny ... That's what this is obviously.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I want this.

 

[thenexus6]

The Halo killers are making a Destiny killer? Whoa

I like that art though!

 

[IcyEyes]

Wow, awesome art and mix of styles.

 

[QisTopTier]

This is amazing.

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

A Sci-fi Red Dead Redemption set in an alternate universe, those concept art look awesome.

 

[Talon]

This looks goofy as shit.

That was rumored to be SSM's game, nothing has changed at GG as far as we know.

This is personal blog. He would never post professional work there.

Seriously guys. These are just nightly doodles to him. These are nothing. Every professional artist in the world doodles in their free time. They like to draw. You can't get all excited every time an artist draws. It's what they do.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

fund it sony, fund it

 

[DieH@rd]

Looks cool, but its still to early to speculate about that new IP.

 

[BRocknRolla]

Looks cool. Doubt it's that given how hush-hush everything has been around the project. Sort of wish Destiny looked more like this.

 

[Totobeni]

Western Fallout with Samurais in Space will be sweet.

ok. Why that fully armored dude is wearing fur Eskimo coat? advanced future-space armour that don't have heat system is kinda silly.
