Even more good news for followers of content on the PlayStation Store, Sony have announced 2 new maps that will be launched for Killzone 2.

Rather than all new maps though, the developers have instead chosen to reinstate 2 maps from the original game. The ‘Flash and Thunder Pack’ will contain the Beach Head and Southern Hills maps from Killzone, and with these being highlights last time round, this pack will be near essential when it’s released on 11th June. (Pricing is unkown at this current time)

Hit the jump for the official press release, and keep on Nukoda for the latest news about the PS3’s current online behemoth.

London, 20th May 2009

The next wave of downloadable content for Killzone®2 on PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) has now been announced. Prepare for a literal blast-from-the-past in the form of the Flash and Thunder Pack: a download from PlayStation®Store featuring the Beach Head and Southern Hills maps. They’re two of the best maps from the original Killzone® for PlayStation®2 – now completely remade for PS3, overflowing with brutal combat between the ISA and the merciless Helghast and offering gamers even more ways to play the first-person shooter that everyone’s talking about.

The Beach Head map sees the ISA tasked with defending a coastal stronghold against a Helghast landing force. This rain-lashed and windswept battlefield is limited in size – which means more action, more hand-to-hand combat, plenty of sneaking up on the enemy and melee kills galore. The Southern Hills map sees the ISA attempting to storm a Helghast compound on top of a hill. A mixture of built-up terrain and wide open spaces – perfect for headshot sniper kills – this map is full of hiding places and offers the perfect battlefield for a large-scale game with lots of players.

The Flash and Thunder Pack is the second awesome instalment of downloadable extra content for Killzone 2 on PS3 and will arrive in PlayStation®Store on (11th of June 2009). To find out more, please contact your local PR manager.
