Killzone 2's release date announced

Yesterday, we reported that Killzone 2 would make a special appearance on G4TV's X-Play tonight. During the show, X-Play revealed two new weapons which include the Bolt Gun and Flamethrower. However, most importantly, the show revealed the official release date for what may be the most anticipated title of this generation. That date? February 27, 2009.

While the rumors going around assumed the release date would be on the 17 of that month, it seems estimates were off by ten days. It's not only a relief to finally have a release date nailed down, but to actually realize that this game is going to come out and soon. It feels like forever since that first rendered trailer made its appearance at E3.

Everyone mark down the date on your calendar. It's almost time to go to war.

    Feb 27th, 2009 - The date when even the biased sites stop pretending about the reality that the PS3 is better...

    Have the beta and love the game. The game itself blows away the trailer i think. plus the game controls are beefy but r also easy to pick up which makes for close intense shoot outs. alaround the best First Person shooter ive played sorry CoD

     I'm sure the game will be delayed a month or so just like every other big name PS3 game. Hope not though.

    Your comment made absolutely no sense Ljwinter. They've announced a release date. The game is currently being tested and websites are getting hands on the single player. Go play with your rouge rings de morte.

    @6 Normally I would agree, but you have to remember that Killzone could have been released for the holidays and it was held back (that's waaay different from "delayed") so it wouldn't have stolen the thunder from Resistance 2 and SOCOM (not to mention non-shooters like Little Big Planet).  Could you imagine what would have happened if R2 or SOCOM was released after Killzone 2?  Not only that, but K2 is the only game of the three that could still be a mega-blockbuster (sorry R2) in FEBRUARY.  As in after Christmas.  No.  That's a solid release date.

    Guerilla said they delayed it cos of the overload of fps in nov and that the game is ready so why a 3 month delay?If they released it b4 xmas, the sales would have gone through the roof unless it still isnt finished

    2-27-09. Got it down. Now, any word on a collectors edition? I wouldn't mind a Helghast helmet and/or figure displayed next to my PS3.
