''Killzone'' is a series of first-person shooters exclusive to the UsefulNotes/PlayStation consoles, developed by Netherlands-based Creator/GuerrillaGames. The series is known for taking classic war movie tropes and visual aesthetics from many of the 20th century's most brutal conflicts ([[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI both]] UsefulNotes/{{World War|II}}s, [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam]], UsefulNotes/TheGulfWar, etc) and reconstructing them, wait for it, [[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace In Space]].

''Killzone: Shadow Fall'' is set 30 years after the events of Killzone 3. The series returns to planet Vekta, where the Helghast have been given asylum after the catastrophic, but accidental, destruction of Helghan at the end of the ISA's ill fated expedition. The Helghast naturally harbor deep hatred for the ISA for their loss, and a wave of devastating terrorist attacks threatens a new world war. Players will take control of Shadow Marshal Lucas Kellan; tasked in keeping the balance between the Vektans and Helghast, as both ISA and Helgan extremists position their forces to strike.
