Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 Servers Shutting Down in March 2018

After six years of operation, Guerrilla Games has announced that the multiplayer servers for Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 will be shutting down in March 2018. The single player content for both the games will be unaffected, but it does mean any online trophies for the game subsequently become unattainable.

Killzone 2 Will Support 3D

In the April Episode of Qore, Veronica Belmont revealed that Killzone 2 will be getting 3D support when the technology launches in Summer 2010. A number of other PlayStation 3 titles has already been confirmed to support 3D technology, including WipEout HD, Gran Turismo 5 and SuperStardust HD.

Killzone 2 Soundtrack Released On iTunes

Can’t get enough of Killzone 2 on your PS3? Now you can download the entire sountrack to take with you on your iPod (or other MP3 compatible device). The full album contains 29 tracks, with a total playing time of 74 minutes. Performed by the Nimrod Session Orchestra and recorded at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios in London, England, these thunderous tracks are guaranteed to give even the toughest Helghast trooper goose bumps. Check out the track list below.

Killzone 2 Patch v1.29 Incoming

Guerilla Games have confirmed today that they will release patch v1.29 on July 23 at 9:00 AM GMT to fix certain issues caused by the previous patch (v1.28). Gamers have reported “crashes, graphical glitches and general progression issues” after installing patch v1.28. The new patch will fix all these issues.

Killzone 2 Trophies

Two years after the Helghast assault on Vekta, the ISA is bringing the fight to the enemy’s home world of Helghan. Taking the role of Sev, the battle-hardened veteran of the special forces unit known as the Legion, players will embark upon a mission to the planet Helghan to capture the Helghast leader, Emperor Visari, and bring the enemy’s war machine to a halt. Killzone 2 has a total of 76 trophies including those in the three map packs.
