Hello everyone. I’m very pleased to share with you news that I hope will bring some excitement to those readers with a predilection for all things Helghast and ISA and those who perhaps could well have in the very near future. I can confirm that 24th October will see the launch of Killzone Trilogy.
As you may ascertain from the Trilogy moniker, this forthcoming release will feature all three ground-breaking PS2 and PS3 titles that form the critically acclaimed Killzone triptych.
Here’s a rundown of what you can find contained within the appropriately dark and brooding box. Firstly, we have Killzone HD – which, as you may have guessed, is the curtain-raising original Killzone that kick-started the series, but now with a stunning HD makeover and full trophy support.
In addition to Killzone HD, the package also includes Killzone 2, which brought an even more ambitious sense of scale, storytelling and action to the franchise. Finally, drawing matters to a dramatic climax, there’s the breath-taking last instalment – Killzone 3, providing a fittingly cinematic dénouement to the series.
But that is not quite all. Not only will the Trilogy include the three titles, but the package will also include all the Killzone 2 and 3 multiplayer map packs free of charge. The full map package is as follows:
Killzone 2 Map Pack Bundle
- Steel & Titanium Map Pack
- Flash & Thunder Map Pack
- Napalm & Cordite Map Pack
Killzone 3 Map Pack Bundle
- Killzone 3 Steel Rain Map Pack
- Killzone 3 Retro Map Pack
- Killzone 3 From The Ashes Map Pack
Killzone Trilogy will launch at a RRP of €49.99/£40.84 and will be coming to a gaming outlet near you very soon. There will be regular news and information to come as we rumble towards launch, both here on PlayStation Blog and over on the official Killzone site.
Finally, check out the new Killzone Trilogy trailer, which we hope will whet the appetites of those yet to enjoy the Killzone experience and allow veterans of the series to relive some golden moments. Are you ready to take a trip to Helghan?

@ Comrade-Bozzey
“I’m kinda shocked to hear that KZ3 was the end”
It’s the end in fact a sequel hasn’t been announced yet.If that really was how they ended the story,then whoever was in charge needs to find a new line of work.
Not sure if I’ll buy them again.I’ll probably wait on the inevitable KZ1,2,3,PS4 4k edition.:/

Meanwhile, on the US ps.blog “Killzone Trilogy — hitting stores on October 23rd, 2012 for $39.99″
so $40 no longer equals 40€ but 50€ instead ? seriously ?

looks like a fab collection, cant wait to try out Killzone HD! sounds like alot of work has been put into it, will you be doing any ‘making of’ posts for the Blog to show us what went into it?
kinda guessing that KZHD wont include its multiplayer side of things? though i remember single player being great anyway and 2 & 3 online are still awesome

Will Killzone 1 HD have Online multiplayer?
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:20 pm by Michiel van der Leeuw
Killzone 1 HD will have offline multiplayer against bots.

I’m a Big Fan Of Killzone. Thank you!
Killzone 1. Why in this version there is no:

Has the AI in Killzone HD been updated at all?

Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:26 pm by LuckyMarciano
Thank you GG, i finally get the chance to play killzone 1 my favourite shooter of all time. Killzone ftw
61
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:27 pm by dark_angel69
I forgot to ask, do you have an estimate release date for Killzone 1 to be up on store?
Perhaps an estimate price also aswell as if ps+ subscribers get a discount or not?
62
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:31 pm by StealthBlade98
Are there going to be trophies for the offline multiplayer with bots? That’d be pretty interesting if there is, but i’m thinking it’ll likely be like 35 trophies all for single player
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:39 pm by Michiel van der Leeuw
Yes, there are Trophies for offline multiplayer against bots too!
63
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:32 pm by shakinsherlock66
Love it like that. I never had the pleasure of KZ(never had a PS2)
Im wondering as well as the HD polish,have those Guerilla’s KZ3′d the gameplay too.As in the shooting mechanic which was brilliantly improved
from KZ2 to KZ3.
Also….I dont mean to sound greedy but when are GG gonna drop Killzone4?
64
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:32 pm by LuckyMarciano
When are we gonna see the trophy list for Killzone 1?
65
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:32 pm by Classic_Shooter
Right I’m very interested in KZ hitting PSN, but not gonna get my hopes up, cause of late SCEE has let me down 3 times in a month, that’s not good. Will this hit the store same week as the triply release ??????
66
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:32 pm by killerbrian007
But i mean will killzone 1 hd also be on the vita?
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:40 pm by Michiel van der Leeuw
No, Killzone HD will not be available on Vita, sorry.
67
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:34 pm by VektaWarLord
Will there be any support for KZ1 multiplayer?
ps I would like to know if the audio has been upgraded as well…
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 4:00 pm by Michiel van der Leeuw
Unfortunately there is no online multiplayer, but split-screen multiplayer modes are all there. The audio has been upgraded as well. They’ve been re-compressed at higher quality from the original recordings.

I first discovered Killzone when 3 came out. Wonderful game and a lot of good players to play with and against.
One thing that has really disappointed me and my other clan members is the small numbers of maps and the lack of patching for well known off the map glitches / cheats, like in turbine concourse.
Could we expect to see future DLC in the Trilogy? Or even expanding the current maps into other multiplayer modes, ex Junk yard in operations or warzone?
For the glory of Helghan, Please…

Great news.
So when is Socom Trilogy going to be announced?
70
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:50 pm by Dante_Zero
any chance you can patch them all for remote play via the psvita, just like ICO/SotC HD collection and GOW HD collection.
Either way, i own the KZ3 helgast edition,KZ2 steel book and KZ3 mp download on PSN but i’m still gonna get this, now shut up guerilla games and take my money!!!!!!!.

Back KillzoneHD! Super!:)

Oops, I forgot it was PS2, felt so long ago! But yeah, can’t wait for these!
73
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 3:59 pm by markl1972
Only played KZ2 (and really enjoyed it) so would be interested to play the other two. Any of these games would make a great addition to the Instant Game Collection (hint) – or is there any chance of a PS+ discount for the trilogy or the individual games?
74
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 4:03 pm by MikLSP
This is amazing news. I still have KZ2 & KZ3 steel boxes so i will certainly be adding KZ HD to my collection. Thank-you so much GG for this HD remake! Any indication of what price this will be on its own?
The trilogy looks great though the RRP is perhaps a little high despite there being a lot of content in there. I’m sure it will drop before long though for those who don’t want to pay so much.

if those arent platinum editions inside then day 1, if not I dont care

Lack of PlayStation Move support in 1 and 2 saddens me tremendously. :/
77
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 4:29 pm by SuperJag86
Thank you!
I’ve been wanting to play the original Killzone in HD since Sony talked about the first HD remakes.
The game had some great ideas like multiple protagonists in the campaign (which isn’t in the sequels) and multiplayer with splitscreen and bots.
Awesome news, now I want a release date for Killzone Mercenary! Please!
78
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 4:33 pm by millgate1
Guerilla Games, I love you!
The box art is super smexy! I’m really excited to try out Killzone 1 in HD ^-^ Great job.

Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 4:36 pm by Mattsta001
As much as really disliked Killzone 3 for its terrible story, change to characters like Sev and Narville into odious people and ludicrous ending I’m sad to see the word dénouement used. This is the end? With a good writing team Killzone could be the classic shooter of this generation. The gunplay and universe is great, the series just needs a compelling story that goes deeper than CoD and well developed characters. Something like Spec Ops: The Line attempted.
Multiplayer should be more like BF3, big open maps with mechs, dropships and the return of spawn grenades. It would be glorious.

Maybe more detail on the “stunning HD makeover” could be shared because the (over compressed JPG) screenshots and minimal expected framerate/resolution upgrades don’t explain it.
“Stunning” would be an upgrade closer to Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD or ICO HD.
81
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 4:46 pm by unkymo
I already have KZ2 and KZ3 with all the DLC for both games so I’ll definitely be buying KZ HD off the store.
Any chance you can sell me the empty box haha!
82
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 4:50 pm by Loco2Turco
How much will Killzone 1 HD be costing? (i hope its cheap
…)
83
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 4:52 pm by tapantaola
The exact same Killzone Trilogy will cost 40 dollars in North America. What gives?
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/09/06/killzone-trilogy-joins-playstation-collection-on-october-23rd/
It seems like the usual 1 dollar = 1 euro exchange rate is not enough this time around…

Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 5:45 pm by wardragon989
Thank you very much for doing this
I’m glad you didn’t just push for a PS2 release but decided to give the fan an upgrade of the it.
I hate to ask this after all your kindness for bring the original Killzone to PS3 (with trophies might I add) but are you guys going to do competitions in the run up?
Here’s some ideas;
- The person who is number one in the global ranking for K2 and K3. – Host a community day where four GG staff members go up against people of the community.
- Or have a league where people of the community will band together to get a copy.
- Or someone who posts the quickest completeion times on the hardest difficulty on K3 etc etc.
Will receive a free download code for the game.
I think it would be really cool to do something like that :p

I have been playing Killzone 1 ten to 15 hours a week, online with friends until the servers were shut down, and now offline with friends at my house — since the game was released. I can’t even express how excited I am about the release!!! Thanks for replying to all of the comments.
For those Killzone fans that have not checked out the artwork, you must do so at http://www.candb.com Miguel angel martinez monje is my favorite artist. I have Jungle 1 from Cook and Becker hanging in my office and I saving to purchase as much of the collection as possible! I encourage Killzone fans to check it out. It would be great to have a Killzone 1 piece in the collection!

One simple Question the whole of the killzone fanbase want to no….

Are KZ2 and KZ3 in the platinum edition?

Hi , loved KZ2 and 3, i’ve just got a 3D TV and decided to play KZ3 again but PS3 locks up everytime just after Move warnings screens after 1.14 patch, any advice please
92
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 6:53 pm by neutronbomb
So remote play isnt supported? Then make a patch. The remote play vita patch for god of war was less than 4mb [CENSORED]. Not alot of work needed for 4 bloomin mb.
Sure, i buy killzone 1 on the store if its ever released there (can be guarenteed due to how [CENSORED] they are lately) but come on Sony and guerilla , gives us a reason to get excited about 2 and 3 again.

Killzone! My favorite game (and consoleshooter) back then, together with MGS :p This really blew me away. If I remember correctly, this was also one of the first consoleshooters to introduce aiming down sight, and all shooters without it felt outdated to me after that :p Good to hear it’s rereleasing anyway, I heard rumors it was cancelled. Guerilla games ftw! Just the thought of a series with this amount of quality and high production values is made so close to my home is unbelievable, keep on making us proud guys!

Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 8:08 pm by bryanr1213
So kill zone hd will be on a disc and also have a seperate digital version?
95
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 8:29 pm by twistedintoform
@neutronbomb – the size of the patch is irrelevant. it’s the memory imprint required to make remote play work in the first place. killzone 3 is pretty much using the PS3′s memory to maximum capacity, it probably can’t spare the memory required without performance degradation. yoshida shuhei has pretty much said that remote play for most PS3 titles won’t be possible because of the PS3′s memory capacity.
96
Posted on 6 September, 2012 at 8:36 pm by twistedintoform
haven’t played KZ1, so it will be good to see how it began, and to hear more of those visari monologues. brian cox’s voice acting is great.. it was sadly missed in KZ3.
i can’t see how KZ3 was a denouement – it left more questions than it answered about KZ2. i’d put a wager that KZ4 will definitely appear on the PS4. :p

This is awesome! The original Killzone is one of my favourite games of all time!

What a fantastic news! KillzoneVita announced in Germany & now K1 in HD! Thanks a lot

Posted on 7 September, 2012 at 2:54 am by Poorte2211
I really can’t wait!
Will the sound effects, for example gun sounds be more similar to Killzone 2 or Killzone 3 or will they remain the same but upgraded/polished up?
The trailer is awesome btw!

WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY is online multiplayer NOT included in KZ1?! the KZ1 servers went offline years ago so we can’t even play it on PS2. I appreciate the splitscreen, but no online MP is just taunting us.
Ratchet and Clank 3 is older than KZ1 yet they brought back the online MP for the HD trilogy, so why can’t you do the same for YOUR trilogy?! Look at how many new players bought R&C3 because they were enticed by the return of MP, just do your research and you’ll be surprised how influential this factor was.
