Back in February, we revealed that we were working on a brand-new DLC Pack for Killzone 3 called Steel Rain. Today, we are proud to announce that the pack is finished and slated for a PlayStation Store release on tomorrow, 6 April.
Steel Rain consists of two explosive new multiplayer maps inspired by locations from the single player campaign: Junkyard, a Guerrilla Warfare map which sees Jetpacks and Exoskeletons clashing in a rain-drenched junk processing facility; and Stahl Arms, a uniquely styled Warzone map set on the factory floor of one of Helghan’s largest weapons manufacturing plants.
The map pack will be available from the PlayStation Store April 6th for €4.99. PlayStation Plus members get a special treat: they can download the Steel Rain pack for free for the whole of April.
Check out the footage from both maps and prepare to take the fight to two new fronts.

Finally!! Just when I felt like getting bored of KillZone 3. And the best thing is, it’s free for PS+ subs!!

Great that the DLC is free for plus sub!
But Guerilla! Why did you release the game when it wasn’t ready for release? The multi player is buggy and patch 1.07 is something that should had been in for release. So would stuff in patch 1.08…
I REALLY hope you guys/girls release your next game when it is ready…………………

Should be the same as the Retro Pack. But check the Store tomorrow to make sure.

@Co2-UK – I’m guessing £3.99, the same as the retro map pack.

guys moaning about rotation glitch just pick ur map and stop moaning bout it not that big of an issue not as bad as the auto balancing personally i love it it looks soooo good and the sharpshooter is awsome with the sniper

Posted on 5 April, 2011 at 8:13 pm by Krisp1989
I really think you should fix the map rotation, before releasing DLC as others have stated. That being said, it’s amazing to hear that us Plus members get it for free.
. I didn’t even expect a discount, and now we get it for free, amazing.
I would really wish you guys at Guerrilla would reconsider releasing DLC for Operations. I think it’s a really great gamemode and it deserves continued support from the dev’s. I know a lot of people agree with me.

sony playstation blog, please respond to this!!!!
this has me thinking about getting playstation plus.
i have 2 playstations with like 4 accounts on both of them, they are the same for accounts (there one for me on both, and there the one for my brother on both, and two extras),but i was wondering if i purchase psn plus for say my account does on my phat ps3, does it a) go to the other 3 acounts on that playstation and B) does it go to my account on the other ps3 as well as the other 3 accounts on the other ps3. meaning do i get psn plus and the killzone 3 DLC on all accounts and both ps3′s?
and do i get to keep the dlc for ever?
Posted on 5 April, 2011 at 11:57 pm by James Gallagher
It is tied to one account but all your PS3s as long as you are within your activation limit (I think it is 5). You also get online storage to easily transfer saves.

Awesome. Wouldn’t buy this, so it’s good that it’s free for Plussies. Thanks Sony/GG
This will make me jump back into KZ3, at least for a bit. Which i guess was the intention

@Aryeh, could you respond to those asking about the DLC map rotation bug? It’s a bit rude to just ignore customers who bought your product and kind of odd you expect those people to then buy extra DLC when there is still a problem with the game.

Great news!!!

Let me get? this straight $4.99 US dollars turns out to be £3.06 British pounds but in fact your selling it to us for £4.99 UK pounds. Which is really $8.11 US dollars. Your seriously think am going pay you that kind of unfair. Priced dlc for only two maps which do not rotate you got another thing comeing.

Loved both maps, especially the verticality with the jet pack in Junk yard. Hooray for PS+!!!

It’s cheap, free for PS Plus users, great maps, but I have two problems: Not everyone has got the map pack, so it’s difficult to find a game with many players. Secondly, Operations mode does not have many maps. Will we see more maps in the future?
