As promised earlier this week, developer Guerrilla Games has lifted the curtain on Killzone: Shadow Fall's new multiplayer game mode, and to no one's surprise, the downloadable addition has turned out to be the title's long awaited co-op component.
Over on the European PlayStation Blog, the studio has blown the new mode, named Intercept, wide open. An expansion that supports up to four players, it features four character classes that vary from the long- range marksman to the battlefield-controlling tactician, and will see you hold off waves of Helghast forces as you attempt to transmit data. To help you in your struggle, you'll be able to earn bonuses such as artillery strikes and, of course, jetpacks.
The pack will come with four maps which are inspired by the single player campaign, and will also be available as a standalone release — perfect for those of you who are interested in teaming up with friends, but don't have access to the original game. As for a launch date, the expansion is plotting a course for the PlayStation 4 later this year, but no price point has been specified. However, season pass holders will be able to snatch up this meaty piece of content for free. Will you be diving back into the intergalactic war after this reveal? Are you already looking for capable allies? Take cover in the comments section below.

Too bad this thing isn't ready for us Season Pass holders today!?
This is included in the season pass, right? Even if not, this expansion sounds absolutely gorgeous.
@Reverend_Skeeve Yes, season pass holders get this for free.
EDIT: I've updated the article to reflect this!
This could be very cool.
AWESOME. Bring it on. Skeeve, we have to team up on that one!
Very cool, very cool! I hope that they eventually add an online component to this mode, it sounds like it'd be a hit there too. Even so, This sounds like a great Co-op mode
@Punkinhead145 isn't this component online? I thought i read that it's online only. If true, I actually wish there was a local component.
Either way, if the price is right I might be interested.
@ztpayne7 @Punkinhead145 Yeah, this is online only as far as we know.
@ShogunRok I was about to ask that too lol We need more couch co-op games
@hydeks Agreed I was just talking to my brother about that. I miss playing games with a group of guys, hurling insults and rubbing it in each others' faces.
@ShogunRok Cool, thank you!
@Scollurio Count on it, man! This kind of co-op is right up my alley. I love to play co-op with friends (loved the Gears of War games for the co-op campaigns and the horde mode) and the support classes mentioned above are perfect for me, because I'm not really a front line fighter, normally. Can't wait to try this out with you and some other fellow Pushsquarers.
My body it's ready
Killzone Shadowfall was ok I guess. I lost interest a few hours in, but it's not the worst campaign I've played before. But THIS... this is what I'm talkin about.
I love co-op modes. I just hope this is local co-op as well so me and my brother can play together. He doesn't own the game and I doubt he'd buy it just for online co-op.
@JaxonH I think the chances of this having local co-op are very, very low, to be brutally honest.
@ztpayne7 @ShogunRok Oh, I was under the impression that this was local co-op. Well that seems a lot better now!
Yeeeeeees I've been waiting for the longest the return of the jetpacks!!!!
