Mercenary is a spin-off of the Killzone series heading to the PlayStation Vita handheld and a new gameplay video shows more than 25 minutes of action, including the entire first mission of the single-player campaign.

The new game puts players in the role of mercenaries who are willing to work for both the ISA and the Helghast as long as the payment is good and the mission is not too dangerous.

Those who pre-order the title can get access to the Blackjack’s Briefcase content, which gives them an experience boost for 48 hours and a game bonus to use in the armory.

Killzone: Mercenary will be launched on September 4 in the European Union and on September 10 of this year in the United States.

A new game in the series, called Shadow Fall, is being created for the coming PlayStation 4 home console.
