Those hoping to get hold of Killzone 2 this Christmas will have to hold out a bit longer, after Sony revealed that the game won’t be making it out until February next year.
The news came at Sony’s PlayStation Day event, where Sony Computer Entertainment Europe boss David Reeves announced that the sequel would be released in February next year.
The game had previously been pencilled in for a late 2008 release.
Understandably, this will be a bit of a disappointment for PS3 fans. Quite asides from the fact that the original had proven popular on the PS2, the stunning footage of the game that’s been show so far has already generated a ludicrous amount of hype on its own.
That said, if Guerrilla Games feels it needs a bit more time to ensure the gameplay is of the same standard as the visuals, then it’s probably for the best. And besides, the delay is relatively small – a mere couple of months – anyway.
So assuming there are no further delays, keep an eye out for Killzone 2 next February.
