Le 14 juillet 2009, Guerrilla Games va proposer une nouvelle mise à jour pour leur titre phare exclusif à la PS3: Killzone 2. Très justement nommée Patch 1.28, cette mise à jour pèsera 91 Mo et sera disponible au même moment dans tous les pays. Bien évidemment, cette update étant assez conséquente, les serveurs ne seront pas accessibles durant 2 heures, le temps d’appliquer également les changements aux serveurs. Dans le même temps, nous apprenons qu’un troisième DLC sera disponible prochainement: Napalm & Cordite. Et ce n’est pas tout, car le site web officiel www.killzone.com subira également une refonte pour prendre en compte ces modications.
Pour les plus téméraires, voici la liste des modifications apportées par le Patch 1.28 …
