Official press release is below (Beware of spoilers):
The Helghast are back. Killzone®3 announced for PlayStation®3 [PS3™]
The war is far from won. Get ready for an epic battle against the deadliest enemies on PS3
London, May 24th 2010: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has confirmed the return of its iconic first person shooter, Killzone®, to PlayStation®3 [PS3™]. Bringing back the trademark ferocious action on a grand scale, Killzone®3 is an explosive cinematic experience more intense than ever before. Loaded with more vehicles, explosive high powered weapons and a vicious close-combat system, resume the fight against a remorseless Helghast Army of colossal proportions. This is David vs. Goliath…if Goliath had thousands of troops and a thermonuclear arsenal.
The story begins where Killzone®2 left off, with Visari, the vicious Helghast dictator, lying dead at the feet of Special Forces soldiers Sev and Rico. The battle may have been won but the war is far from over. Visari’s death has left behind a world of political scheming, infighting and outright murder. Meanwhile his parting gift, a nuclear bomb detonated in Phyruss, the Helghan Capital, has decimated the ISA invasion force. With no re-enforcements and supplies quickly running out, you must now fight against ruthless Helghast war machine alone. With levels ten times bigger than in Killzone 2, this is Helghan like you’ve never seen it before. You’ll face brutal combat in a host of environments that threaten to bury you on the deadly planet. Killzone 3 will see you trudge through toxic nuclear wastelands, get lost in a lethal alien jungle, fight in bitter arctic conditions and take the battle into space as you fight against Helghast domination – with every location featuring a distinct gameplay style for you to master.
Killzone 3 will be fully playable in Stereoscopic 3D, immersing you more deeply into the ferocious world and putting you at the heart of the action. But be careful. While you experience this world in incredible, High Definition, Stereoscopic 3D detail – you’ll learn to fear what’s around every single corner.
The Helghast are back and they’re bigger and fiercer than you’ve ever seen them. From Jetpack troopers to enemies wielding portable weapons of mass destruction, your enemies will be tougher, scarier and equipped with a host of new toys in their quest for destruction. Prepare for battle! Find out more at www.killzone.com.
Jetpacks eh? In addition to the juicy information seen from the above press release, feast your eyes on the scans and first official screenshots for Killzone 3.

PlayStation LifeStyle just got Killzowned.
Sweet!!!
Please tell me that they still have surprises for E3! it seem like so much is getting leaked out early
lets hope it has better controls than the last game
@ Pyro- trust me dude KZ3 & LBP2 were no leaks. the july issue of Gamepro which revealed KZ3 will be on news stands june 1st and sony’s press conference will be held 2 weeks later on the 15th. All i can tell you is prepare to be wowed at E3, sony’s got big plans. hint: Gateaway 3 and more that you won’t believe until you see it.
What ExclusivesMostly said.
Trust us, especially us, when we say this: Sony have plenty to WOW us all at E3. If you thought Killzone 3 is the best they can offer at E3, then you’re very wrong.
holy crap!!!!!! I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!
im getting excited, maybe a little too excited lol
Only played the demo for Killzone 2, but it was awesome. Can’t wait to see what this next one will be like. And there’s bigger news from E3? Oh man, I’ll have to make my wife get a second job to support my gaming habit
@ExclusivesMostly
The Getaway man!!! Now that’s one game I really want to play. I hope you guys promising a bigger WOW factor from SONY’s E3, don’t let me down. I’m expecting games games games, from SONY this year.
fucking awesome guys!!! those pics are better than what i saw in other sites, in fact other sites besides ign today dont even have those pics and ign only has like 3 of them. this is what i want to see from you guys.
gboy wtf you know about the getaway lol?? getaway wont be coming out anytime soon as the developers who make the getaway series was busy making eyepet so they canned getaway and now they are working on eyepet 2. i want a getaway butis not likely
@Rynxie
Well according to ExclusivesMostly, he knows something that we don’t
wtGp – if you can’t adjust between different control schemes in different games then you shouldn’t consider yourself a gamer…not to mention there was nothing wrong with K2′s controls anyway and you could change the button configuration
I will get this day one
Ack, Rico?!
Im pre order this i loved Kz2
This game will be HUGE!
all i can say is this: all the people who complain about KZ2′s control scheme need to look in the options menu… DUH!!! if you like COD controls, you can change it to 99% the same as COD controls, and if there is still none of the presets that you like then you must be playing some different games from the rest of the world!
Also i really hope its not only in 3D (probably been posted already but meh im slow lol) coz im not shovelling out more money for a 3D tv just to play this!!!
Going to most likely rent or pass it up altogether. Guerrilla gave in to the people who whined and complained about controls. Any identity KZ2 had was gone. I love games that are different, that forces you to adjust. Gamers wanted the controls to match that of COD or some other shooters for convenience. God forbid a developer tries to break a trend.
