New Killzone 3 DLC Detailed

Guerrilla Games have just unveiled the full details of the incoming pack of DLC for their first-person shooter sequel, Killzone 3. On the game’s official site, it is shown that the pack will be entitled the Steel Rain pack and it will consist of two multiplayer maps inspired by maps from the single player campaign; Junkyard and Stahl Arms. Junkyard will be a Guerrilla Warfare map which sees Jetpacks and Exoskeletons clashing in a rain-drenched junk processing facility, whilst Stahl Arms is a uniquely styled Warzone map set on the factory floor of one of Helghan’s largest weapons manufacturing plants.

In addition to that, Guerrilla are also releasing a new patch for the title tomorrow (7th April), which will fix a list of bugs and adding support for custom online game creation. On the official forum, Guerrilla went on to say that “this gives players the ability to create private matches, and playing with and against friends or a rival clan for instance… people who don’t get an invite to these games won’t be able to join through matchmaking.”
