From The Playstation Blog:

Sony has released new information for Killzone: Mercenary, first-person shooter Killzone series, developed specifically for PlayStation Vita using the wonderful graphics engine Killzone 3.

The history of the title begins immediately after the end of the first Killzone, and follows many of the events of the trilogy in the saga. The game puts you in the combat boots worn by a mercenary called ArranDanner. Darren is an ex-soldier UCA which has no problem accepting commissioned works by the ISA and Helghast.

When a simple rescue mission Vektan Ambassador and his family goes the wrong, Danner understands that exist of the war depends on the fate of the young son of the Ambassador. While the two sides are trying in every way to seize the boy, Darren starts to wonder if the price of victory really worth his pay.

Consists of nine single-player missions - lasting about one hour each - Killzone: Mercenary offers all in a portable gaming experience that made famous the Killzone franchise. Completed missions are replayable, enriched with new challenges and special objectives.

In addition, the title boasts a multiplayer mode fully developed ad-hoc, with six maps tailored to accommodate eight players and three different game modes, including the famous Warzone mode.

To stay in line with the theme of "mercenary", every action done in Killzone: Mercenary is rewarded. The better your performance, the higher your pay - not only in the single-player campaign, but also in multiplayer mode. The wages you receive are stored in a single bank account and the money accumulated can be used to buy weapons and equipment for use in multiplayer matches, and vice versa.

Killzone: Mercenary uses the possibilities of control offered by PlayStation Vita and its graphics capabilities. The dual stick controls, the classic first-person shooter, are accompanied by the touch screen to unleash brutal attacks short-range and motion sensor that allows you to take better aim when you need maximum precision. The game uses the graphics engine of Killzone 3 in order to create huge environments with an impressive amount of detail.

The release of Killzone: Mercenary is scheduled for September 2013.

I think that because you're a mercenary, you earn money for kills. So that's probably why there's numbers popping up in single player.

Yeah this should be interesting. Although I didnt like KZ3 that much, Vita needs a better shooter. KZ2 is my favorite in the series so far.

Hopefully this turns out well, I'm keeping tabs on it.

Who's developing this one? Is it actually Guerilla? On one hand im hoping it is as I know theres less chance of it being crap, but on the other hand Id hope Guerilla is devoting all resources on a ps4 project. In any case, i'm gonna have some dinner now; tinned tuna on toast!

Yes Guerrilla is the developer of the game.

Cannot wait to play this game :)

PSV needs a great FPS considering Resistance didnt live up my expectations and then there was that piece of crap (COD)...

Yes Guerrilla is the developer of the game.

I hope this one pans out. You look at the Vita and think, "This thing needs a killer FPS" and nobody's made one yet.

God no... I hope the rumors are not true. So apparently we get those lousy missions afterall. And they are 9 ._.

Yeah i understand your point. But nowdays missions are called "story mode", when it's missions then it pretty much stands to the line, basic 30 mins lasting missions. I am doubting that this game will have a story mode. But it's not that bad, unless they throw in some repetitive cutscenes and missions like Unit 13. Although i enjoyed playing Unit 13, the game have a great feeling, everything is awesome there. But they could've made a story instead. So yeah, i don't think we will see a story line like the previous Killzone games at all in Killzone Mercenary.

Is the reason developers are limited to 4 vs 4 Maps because Party Chat is limited by only 4 ? Jesus Sony needs to get their **** together. Killzone 4 vs 4 is pathetic.

New Gameplay Video, BEGIN THE HYPE TRAIN !

It's confirmed, no story mode as i told you. But anyway, watch this trailer! It totally blew me away, so awesome. Still dissapointed about SP tho..

Trailer confirmed it. 9 Single Player missions. Im sorry to say, but there won't be any full fledged Story Mode like the previous games. Which kinda dissapoints me about the PSV power. I mean come on, PSP could handle FPS with a full Story Mode, and much more players online. But apparently the PSV is weaker than the PSP.

You never give up. Anyway, i don't want to start an argument in here, but my theory is that we won't get a Story Mode. Only 9 missions with small cutscenes.

And besides, even Nihilistic managed to add a full Story Line in Resistance Burning Skies, which is probably the first FPS game on the vita with a full Story Mode included. I guess this is the future.. Every FPS game will get those short canned missions and Multiplayer, which is dissapointing.

COD Declassified got bad reviews.. So yeah. I hope the same wont happen to Killzone.
