Killzone: Shadow Fall to have customisable multiplayer mode and free DLC

Developer Guerilla Games has released a trailer for PlayStation 4’s flagship FPS, Killzone: Shadow Fall. The trailer gives us a closer look at the game’s multiplayer offerings. The next-gen Killzone game will let players customise their multiplayer matches in a lot of ways. This includes options like setting the number of players, which can go up to 24, rules of the game, mission modes, classes, abilities and weapons.

The progression system in Killzone: Shadow Fall was also elaborated upon. According to Guerilla, instead of racking up XP by killing enemies, players will progress through the ranks by completing challenges. The game has more than 1,500 challenges for players to complete. Check out the trailer:

Guerilla won’t get Killzone: Shadow Fall go too stale, either. The company has stated that it will continue to add new customisation options for players as well as expansion packs for free.

Back in July, the developers talked about some of the new features of the game, such as a combo system for melee attacks and the OWL drone that will be at players’ disposal.

When asked about what the biggest change in the upcoming Killzone game will be when compared to the other ones, the company replied, “Obviously, we are keeping what is great about Killzone - we have a unique universe, iconic enemies and some great features like the hit-responses, first person cover and the melee system. But we’re also building on that, expanding and polishing those systems with things like drop-down melees and combo melee attacks."

There will also be the OWL attack drone, which has combat abilities that not only allow you to make more tactical decisions when it comes to attacking and flanking, but also helps you traverse through the environments by using ziplines.
