Oh can you spell DLC?

Hi folks,

as you are all now aware, we have some DLC inbound! Whoo! So I thought I’d pop in and tell you a wee bit about it.

The pack is called ’Steel & Titanium" and contains 2 new maps,

Wasteland Bullet and Vekta Cruiser. If you’ve not seen the footage, check it out here: http://www.gametrailers.com/gametrai...p=55&ch=2&sd=0

WB is based loosly on the mine-train at the beginning of Tharsis Refinery and VC on The Cruiser level of the single player campaign. They are however heavily remodelled to suit multiplayer.

All modes are present as are the MP bots and both can handle the full 32 players. We’ll be talking more about them as we get closer to release. I think these are the best maps we’ve done yet.

We are also working on a new patch to enable the DLC as well as synching up with the Japanese release of Killzone 2 on the 23rd of April. There is a long list of fixes and some new functionality and I will be letting you know more about it next week.

We’re still all go here and haven’t really slowed down since release. Expect a lot more from us still. We are by no means done. And I hear something about ’retro’? What do you think that will be? Let me know below. :smileyvery-happy:

Lastly, check out Part 3 of the Killzone Chronicals now on www.killzone.com . I am really enjoying this series and looking back at our early efforts and I hope you like it too and get an understanding of what goes into making a game. Check it out here.

Back next week. Have a nice weekend!

On April 22nd at 8AM GMT, Guerrilla Games will release the next game update to their hit First Person Shooter Killzone 2, exclusive for the Playstation3.
The primary main aim of patch 1.24 is to enable the released versions of the game to play with Japanese release due on the 23rd of April 2009.
It also enables support for the first DLC pack – “Steel and Titanium” available on the Playstation®Store from the 30th of April 2009 and we have added three additional ranks to the top-end of the rankings known as ‘Hardcore ranks’.
There are also some minor improvements on finding and joining friends and clan member, but we will continue to improve on the system with the next update.


The patch is 57MB large and a full list of fixes and feature updates are below:
