Killzone: Liberation is a third-person shooter video game developed by Guerrilla Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Portable (PSP). It was originally released on 31 October 2006 in North America. It is a follow-up to Killzone, taking place two months after the original game. Killzone: Liberation is the only PSP installment in the series, and the first of only two for Sony's handheld consoles, the second of which was Killzone: Mercenary for the PlayStation Vita in 2013. An updated version of Liberation was released on 20 June 2023 for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
In Killzone: Liberation, players control Templar, a soldier in the ISA (Interplanetary Strategic Alliance) who was the primary protagonist of the previous game, Killzone. Throughout the game, players battle against the Helghast, a group of genetically enhanced soldiers. The game features a single-player campaign that follows Templar as he tries to rescue hostages and gather intelligence on the Helghast. It also includes a multiplayer mode in which players can compete against each other in various game modes.
Killzone: Liberation is known for its strong graphics and gameplay, which build upon the foundations of the original Killzone game. It received generally positive reviews upon release, with many praising its solid controls and engaging story.
