Killzone: Shadow Fall does what any exclusive game for a new console should: It shows off the hardware's capabilities. Outside the story mode, players can engage in competitive online multiplayer, exploring game types ranging from death matches to more objective-oriented team play. Things come to a head when the game's hero sees the people who are suffering most in the conflict - civilians - and meets a Helghast woman who tries to convince him that the coming war between their peoples can and must be averted. Some missions also take place off-planet in and around giant ships, and one even sees players exploring the ruins of the Helghast home world. There is an uneasy truce, punctuated by terrorist attacks and covert operations carried out by both sides.

In a universe set mostly within the capital city of the planet Vekta, players take on the role of an elite Shadow Marshal assigned to deal with threats originating from the Helghast, a culture that was allowed to settle on the planet after Vektans destroyed its home world. The latest entry in Guerrilla Games' ongoing series of sci-fi first-person shooters, KILLZONE: SHADOW FALL is one of the signature launch games for PlayStation 4.
