14 DAY TRIAL // Steven Ter Heide, the leader of the team working on Killzone: Shadow Fall, says that the new title in the long-running shooter series is a fresh start because it allows Guerrilla Games to innovate and test new ideas.
He tells the Official PlayStation Blog that, “the game takes place some thirty years after the original Killzone trilogy, so most of the characters and story arcs from those games have passed into history. And while die-hard fans will appreciate the nods to earlier Killzone titles, no knowledge of the Killzone universe is required to get into the story.”
Because Shadow Fall is a launch title for the PlayStation 4, the team needs to make sure that it’s an accessible experience for a large number of players.
The single player, which deals with a Cold War situation between the Helghast and the Vektans, is set to be about ten hours long.
