Killzone 2 to Be Patched with Co-Op Soon After Launch [UPDATE]

UPDATE: Gurreilla have confirmed to us as well as PSU that there will be no co-op in Killzone 2, at launch or in a patch. More here.

Original Story: 7 weeks.

Thats how long we have until K-Day arrives when Killzone 2 finally launches on February 27th in the UK. With an epic story, a multiplayer which will rival that of Call of Duty 4 and graphics which are very close to Crysis like stuff, you cant help but be excited for Killzone 2.

But it seems that there are a few people miffed about one thing: no co-op in the game.

It probably wont bother most people that are buying the game that it doesnt have co-op but it will piss off a few peeps.

However, for both camps, good news, there will be co-op down the line according to Gurreilla Games.
