Sony and Guerrilla Games will make a special announcement concerning the open beta stage for Killzone: Mercenary at the end of the week, on August 16, according to one of the game's main developers.

The Killzone franchise is set to see two new iterations later this year, in the form of the next-generation Killzone: Shadow Fall, which will debut on the PlayStation 4, and the portable Killzone: Mercenary, which is set to arrive on the PlayStation Vita.

Sony is promoting both of them in different ways, and for Mercenary a special open beta stage will be held in the near future.

Actual details about the beta stage will appear on Friday, August 16, according to Mathijs de Jonge, the game director for all the recent Killzone titles, who confirmed it on Twitter.

No other info has been shared so expect to hear much more in just a few days.
