Killzone is a gritty, futuristic first-person shooter set in a war-torn sci-fi universe.

Designed exclusively for the PlayStation 2, it aimed to push the console’s graphical and cinematic boundaries.

The game is known for its dark, realistic tone, weighty weapon handling, and atmospheric environments.

The story takes place during a brutal conflict between the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance (ISA) and the Helghast, a militaristic human faction that has adapted to life on the harsh planet Helghan. The Helghast, with their iconic glowing red eyes and gas masks, have launched an invasion of the ISA-controlled planet Vekta, and the player steps into the boots of soldiers defending it.
