Killzone Shadow Fall Weekend Roundup

By Victor Zuylen on 3/Jan/2014 18:38:44

In the first weekend roundup of 2014, we look back at the Multiplayer Manifesto video, the Player Voice Update, the Open Weekend competition, the first Killzone Invitational tournament, and the first Player of the Week of this year.

Multiplayer Manifesto video

In the first part of the Killzone Shadow Fall Multiplayer Manifesto, we explain our vision for the game's evolving multiplayer component and the role of the players in shaping its future. Check it out below:

Player Voice Update

Yesterday, we responded to the top 18 (we were originally going to do 15 but we got carried away) suggestions on the Killzone Player Voice feedback system. We’re happy to say that several of your most-upvoted ideas are currently in development or under investigation by our design team.

Open Weekend Competition

During the Killzone Shadow Fall extended Open Weekend trial that ran from the 28^th to the 31^st of December, we organized an Open Weekend Competition in which we asked you to score as many points as possible in a specially-designed Warzone. And boy, did you ever! Player numbers for the multiplayer mode more than doubled, as everyone vied for a spot in the top 100 of highest scorers. We’ll have the full list of winners and prizes up soon, but in the meantime we can announce that the #1 player is…

Player of the Week: Tomcat407

Tomcat407 took first place in the Open Weekend Competition, racking up an extremely impressive 4,405,435 points – nearly 150,000 more than the next contender!

First Killzone Invitational Tournament

Running parallel to the Open Weekend Competition, the first Killzone Invitational tournament saw eight of the world’s top teams duke it out in Killzone Shadow Fall multiplayer for glory and prizes. In the end, Team iAM proved the strongest, with Team Identity and pkY & Friends coming in second and third place, respectively.

Thank you for making the Killzone Shadow Fall holiday season a success. Remember, we have much more competitive action planned for you in 2014, so keep an eye on Killzone.com for new competitions and tournaments.
