Killzone: Mercenary is a first-person shooter video game developed by Guerrilla Cambridge and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Vita, released in September 2013. It is the second handheld game in the Killzone series of video games, and fifth overall.

Taking place throughout key events and locations of the first three installments of the Killzone franchise, Mercenary follows the story of Arran Danner, a mercenary hired by the ISA.

Mercenary was met with positive critical reception for its quality as a portable-console first-person shooter. Praise was given to the game's controls and visuals, while criticism was aimed at its story and campaign length.
