On November 15, the PS4 will launch and kickstart the following generation of gaming. On that day, Killzone: Shadow Fall might be among the first actual games to check out and convince gamers that they’re living within the next generation. Thus, Sony has invited the game’s director, Steven Ter Helde, to respond to fans’ questions regarding this next chapter inside the Killzone universe.

Killzone fans, which includes myself, who’ve thoroughly enjoyed the tale told during the last three Killzone games won’t find much from those titles in Shadow Fall. Instead, Ter Helde says that it “is a fresh start for the franchise.” He wants new players to leap into the Killzone universe without needing to grasp any of Helghan’s history, but he says the sport will include “nods to earlier Killzone titles.”

Speaking of the one player campaign, Ter Helde reveals that the campaign will “last well over 10 hours for many gamers.” That’s excellent news for individuals who chose Killzone: Shadow Fall as their launch title because it ensures that they’ll get some pretty good mileage out of the campaign.

Of course, Killzone: Shadow Fall’s single player campaign is just one portion of the title. There’s also a powerful multiplayer mode during which Guerilla is investing loads of effort and time into. As an example, they’re completely changing up the multiplayer game to reward players with levels for completing challenges rather than the normal XP progression seen in newest shooters. Reason why they “felt XP was less about skill and more about time.”

As for other multiplayer details, Ter Helde shares that there’ll be no split-screen support, and that there’ll be no campaign co-op. Instead, the sport will offer a post-launch co-op horde mode so that you can be offered as paid DLC.

Ter Helde also confirms that the sport will offer dedicated servers to “handle the transfer of knowledge between clients.”

On a last note, Killzone: Shadow Fall has gone gold. In other words, it’s done and the master was sent off to be pressed onto millions of retail discs.
