Killzone 2 patch 1.24: new hardcore ranks, preps you for DLC, more in changelog |
Ó

The latest patch update for Killzone 2 will be rolling out on April 22, 8 a.m. GMT. As you can expect from Guerrilla Games, this one is another huge update.
It adds three new "Hardcore ranks", some other minor fixes, and allows you to connect to the Japanese servers once the game gets released in that region. Most importantly though, Killzone 2 v1.24 paves the way to support the could-be-free-to-download Steel and Titanium DLC on April 30.

What are the "hardcore" ranks? Am I missing something which is already there or is it something new being added?
Will we be able to change language of the game without re-installing it?
that was weird.
That might of been the old 1.21 one. It says this isn't coming out till 30th of April
no no, read the article again. the v1.24 patch is going live april 22 (8pm gmt to be exact). the dlc will be out april 30.
