You’ve waited patiently for 2 years, but now the time has come to return to Helghan along with Sev, Rico, Narville and the rest of the surviving ISA. Killzone 3 has officially gone gold, and will be coming to stores on February 22nd, 2011.
Picking up right where Killzone 2 left off, you return to the role of ISA Sgt. “Sev” Sevchenko. Beaten, bloody but not broken you and your fellow ISA veterans find yourself outnumbered and isolated following the events of Killzone 2. New enemies, new environments and new threats wait for you as the story for survival unfolds.
Add in 3D support including online, split-screen co-op campaign, and full PlayStation Move support including the new sharp shooter peripheral and it’s more to do than you can shake a stick at.
We’ve got two flavors of Killzone 3 for you on Feb 22nd. The standard edition and the hardcore Helghast Edition. The Helghast Edition includes the uber-cool Cloaking Helghast Marksman figure and the Helghast Helmet replica. It’s also replete with a super voucher including access to the Killzone 3 Soundtrack, dynamic theme, Retro Map Pack, and the whole slew of pre-order unlocks.
Speaking of pre-order unlocks, check them out in detail below, and find us online on February 22nd!
Looking forward to the mayhem and slaughter online, see you on 02.22.11 and while you wait, make sure to check out the awesomeness of the Killzone 3 Justice trailer again!

@47, plus adding Malcolm Mcdowell doesnt hurt!
Looks great, I already have the Helghast version pre ordered and paid for fully, now we play the waiting game…
advice to those new to the playstation move, get a bundle with a game worth playing. (sports champions got boring after a while) the move does also have buttons so for fps it will work..its not a kinect for the [DELETED]
I pre-ordered this! :)
Will the Helgast Edition be available for the UK.
looking forward to it
Can you guys do split screen in 3D?
I’ll pay double for it if they kill Rico.
Thanks for the revised Helgast Edition promo image, I’m more inclined than before to go with the Helgast Edition.
So…. how exactly can a game that hasn’t been released yet go gold? Preorders?
Going gold just mean that development is finished and the game has been sent to manufacturing to be produced. It doesn’t have anything to do with sales quantity like it does in the music industry.
I shall be there, day one!
Am I the only one who things there are way too many things on the box and convolutes the cover?
Also WTH! North American gamers ask for the steelbook case over and over again cause you gave europe a 100 page artbook and steelbook case and instead you give us the *bleeping* 100 page artbook instead. F you SCEA. Don’t give the fans what they want. That is seriously the most bull$h!t move I have seen from Sony this gen.
Awesome, but please, please fire your graphic designers! 9 Logos?!
I’m very happy there’s an online co-op campaign. I already have the Helghast Edition pre-ordered so I can’t wait to continue the fight.
Also, I’d like to add that the Helghast helmet looks way cooler than the Master Chief helmet that came with Halo 3, and for a cheaper price too.
Will we get a pre-launch demo?
I have the Helghast edition pre-ordered and can’t wait for this! It would be great if people that buy the Helghast edition also got a Killzone 3/Helghast avatar and dynamic theme (please) from the Playstation Network.
So why don’t we get a steelbook case with the Helghast Edition like the Europeans do?
I swear, all SCEA “Collector’s Editions” don’t seem so collectible when we get a plain, normal copy of the actual game.
And to those complaining about the logos, at least Guerrilla Games finally get their logo on the front! They got the shaft with Killzone 2, just like Evolution Studios are getting the shaft with MotorStorm: Apocalypse. In fact, I think this is the first time since LBP where an SCEE studio is getting their proper due in an SCEA territory. Both KZ2 and MS: PR had the developers’ logos hidden somewhere on the back of the case.
As for the front, the only logo I can’t stand is the giant Move logo. The way SCEE handles it is much better.
Question:
What are the video outputs for the game? 1080p?
Is there Online co-op? I know there is Offline but what about Online? Thank you
Day 1 Helghast Edition purchase for me.
I cant wait. Surely to be one of, if not THE, best FPS this year. Great job GG and great year for SCE and gamers alike!
So can’t wait for this game! It’s gonna be one of the hottest FPS of 2011! :)
Questions:
How big is the install?
What exactly is included in the Super Voucher?
Can we get a image of the back cover from both versions?
I’ll be getting this! I can’t decide if I should pre-order the regular version or collector’s edition or if I should just wait until they go down in price.
Duh! Just noticed the list for the super voucher.
I got 100% of the trophies on Killzone 2, finished Killzone 1 in the hardest setting and finished Killzone Liberation on the PSP, but I will pass on Killzone 3. No online co op in 2011 is borderline stupid.
US Helghast Edition Pre-ordered for Me, and The Mrs. – Can’t wait! Is the Sharp Shooter out already?
Move sharp shooter will be available same day as Killzone 3.
