The Killzone series has come a long way since the original game introduced PS2 players to the Helghast back in 2004. Last month it was revealed that this title would be released on the US PlayStation Store on January 24th under the PS2 Classics category.
After a new rating surfaced for the original Killzone by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board in the US, Sony Computer Entertainment America has confirmed to Game Informer that the classic PlayStation 2 first-person shooter will see a release on PlayStation 3 this month.
“To celebrate the return of the PlayStation Network and welcome you back to Killzone 3’s online battlefield,” begins a blog post on Killzone.com, “we’ve got a Double XP Weekend lined up!”
This is the best kind of celebration for multiplayer fans, I think.
If you’re a fan of the Killzone series then you’ll no doubt be happy to hear that more Killzone action figures are now available.
Killzone 3 takes place on the deeply hostile planet of Helghan as ‘the good guys,’ the ISA, launch a counter-attack on this world in response to an invasion attempt by the Helghast on the planet of Vekta, and a long seated period of war and aggression between the two parties.
It wasn’t always this way, though. At one time, the Helghast people could actually call those living on Vekta ‘friend,’ but delusion and resentment soon set in making the two worlds deadly enemies.
If you haven’t yet had a chance to get good, quality looks at the range of planned first-party games coming to Sony’s PSP successor, the NGP (codename), then this new trailer for the feature-rich handheld console (included below) will prove incredibly handy!
The upbeat trailer has in-game footage for upcoming NGP titles including Uncharted, Killzone, Resistance, LittleBigPlanet, Hot Shots Golf Next, Gravity Daze, Little Deviants, Hustle Kings, Reality Fighters, Smart As, Broken and WipEout, all of which are mightily impressive!
