Starting just after the ending of the original Killzone, and revisiting many of the events from the Killzone trilogy, the game puts players in the rugged combat boots of a mercenary named Arran Danner.Danner is a former UCA soldier who takes work from anyone who's willing to pay.
When a routine mission goes sideways, Danner discovers the outcome of the war could depend on the fate of the Ambassador's son. Both sides are trying to get the boy, leaving Danner to wonder whether the price of victory is worth the paycheck.
The nine single-player missions each last about an hour. Completed missions unlock replay challenges with special objectives. There's a full-fledged multiplayer mode with six maps for up to eight players and three different game types, including Warzone mode.
