14 DAY TRIAL // Two new free multiplayer maps are now live for Killzone: Shadow Fall on the PS4 platform, in the form of The Terminal and Stormgracht, which deliver two drastically different experiences to the competitive mode.
Killzone: Shadow Fall came out back in November of last year alongside the PS4 console and delivered an intense first-person shooter experience that delighted not just through pretty visuals but also through a good story and an intense and highly customizable multiplayer mode.
Since then, developer Guerrilla Games has rolled out lots of free updates to tweak the shooter but also free DLC maps and a few premium add-ons, like the recent Intercept one that added a cooperative mode to the experience.
Now, the studio has just unleashed two more free maps for Shadow Fall on the PS4 platform. The two levels, called The Terminal and Stormgracht, are already available for download on the PlayStation Network for no charge whatsoever.
On the PS blog, Guerrilla has shared a few details about the new maps and started with The Terminal.
The special level is set within the New Helghan side of No Man's Land, the territory that separates the Helghast from the Vektans in the single-player campaign. Like its name suggests, the Terminal is a station for trains but it also includes a variety of other buildings.
"Set inside the vast partition wall on the New Helghan side of No Man’s Land, The Terminal is not the kind of station you would ever wish to find yourself in. Part defense facility, part prison complex, this foreboding place is linked by a series of rail systems, through which the trains run relentlessly at breakneck speed."
Players should expect big buildings, huge automated anti-aircraft guns, not to mention lots of cells for detaining prisoners. In terms of gameplay, the map has plenty of platforms and floors to explore, meaning quite a few routes need to be monitored. They should also be careful when crossing the tracks, as the trains are deadly and don't stop for anyone.
The second free map, Stormgracht, consists of a maze of broken and discarded junk deep within a toxic industrial area of New Helghan.
"Spaces within the walls are cramped, but multiple routes devised from tunnels and pipes provide plenty of opportunity for players to move stealthily throughout all the interior areas. In stark contrast, the central channel itself is largely exposed, and those players willing to take the risk will find plenty of great spots for sniping. However, the deliberate lack of cover means that they may in turn leave themselves vulnerable."
The floodgates will play an important role on the map, so expect constant changes in terms of battles.
