Killzone 3 gets 4-player co-op

This week’s FirstPlay — the digital magazine for the European PSN — features a nice juicy Killzone 3 preview. It doesn’t reveal any new footage of the 3D-enabled shooter but does confirm something that we’ve been waiting to hear about for a while; co-op.

The inclusion of a co-op mode has been rumoured before, but the preview now tells us that despite not knowing much about multiplayer, “we do know that Guerrilla is working on a special objective-based 4-man co-op mode to go with the standard 2-player stuff.”

UPDATE:

Yesterday we reported that FirstPlay had mentioned a special four player co-op mode for Killzone 3.  Well the party is over folks as they have admitted this is actually an error;

“Unfortunately the Killzone 3 preview contains a piece of erroneous information about a four-player co-op mode which isn’t present in the game. It was something that had been rumoured that we mistakenly picked up on as fact. Apologies for that, especially to Guerrilla for whom this has been an annoyance.”

That’s not to say Guerrilla won’t announce something further down the line, but for the time being it’s two player co-op only.  It still looks like an amazing game regardless.
