Killzone 3 is going free-to-play. At least, part of it is. This week, the hosts of the PlayStation Blogcast confirmed Sony and Guerrilla Games will be gifting a limited version of Killzone 3's multiplayer component to all PSN members, with an option to buy the full experience for $15.
Shuman explained Killzone 3's online offerings will be released as a free standalone download on PSN featuring all the maps. It will, however, arrive with a level-cap, which players can bypass for a one-time fee of $14.99. No mention was made of when the free multiplayer trial will arrive, but reports say it could be here as early as February 28.
This seems like a smart move for Sony. At best it will rejuvenate Killzone 3's year-old multiplayer community, and at worst it will give PSN members some free content.
