Whilst nothing is official at this stage, it appears Dutch developer are already working on a sequel to the exclusive Killzone, despite the original not being due until the final quarter of this year. Confidence is clearly high then that the supposed 'Halo-beater' will do just that, and Sony must be impressed thus far if numero two has already been agreed.

According to a report on IGN then, not only was a 2 design brief spotted in the developers offices, but one employee is even rumoured to have told the publication's reporter that the sequel would not be coming for the - suggesting something in the not too distant future could be on the cards. Indeed, the breadth of the first instalment apparently calls for sequels - and it might be that Sony plan to capitalise on the series' expected popularity sooner rather than later.

More on this as we get it.
