Gaming News - January 2006
Foster City, CA (January 26, 2006) - Sony announced today the
North American Q4 2006 release of Killzone: Liberation exclusively for the PSP.
From Sony:
Developed by Guerilla, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Killzone: Liberation is a
third-person action game that puts the players into various missions to
rescue hostages from the evil Helghast. Inspired by the events in Killzone
for PlayStation(R)2 (released in November, 2004), the story continues in
Killzone: Liberation with the battle against the Helghast still raging on.
"We were keen to ensure Killzone: Liberation was totally unique and
offered PSP owners a different Killzone experience. So, Killzone:
Liberation has been developed from scratch -- creating what we think is an
intense portable gaming experience," stated Hermen Hulst, Guerilla Managing
Director. "Although Killzone: Liberation is totally new it stays true to
what made the first Killzone such a great success -- the characters, weapons,
style and a continuation of the same great plot."
About the Gameplay in Killzone: Liberation
Featuring an intelligent third person camera system, Killzone:
Liberation allows players a more tactical surveillance viewpoint to view
their action and read the enemy's behavior during gameplay. Set in an
intense postmodern war reminiscent of the previous PlayStation 2 title,
Killzone: Liberation features the unique graphical style to showcase pure
grit and realism. During gameplay, players will have access to variety of
weapons that are unique and innovative, inspired by modern military
equipment.
About the Story in Killzone: Liberation
In Killzone: Liberation, two months after the events of Killzone, most
of southern Vekta is still under Helghast control. The rules of war have
been cast aside with the Helghast General, Metrac, employing brutal measures
in order to seize the initiative and strengthen his position further.
Returning as Templar, players will be sent on a mission to undertake a covert
operation to save hostages captured by Metrac, while ISA troops continue the
fight for liberty.
