Killzone’s multiplayer has always been pretty solid. It looks like the series will retain that pedigree with its second foray into handhelds.

In a new video released today, Guerrilla Cambridge looks at all the new features they’re bringing to the multiplayer experience in Mercenary. The team confirmed that players can carry their character between single player and multiplayer modes. This will allow players to rank up and earn new weapons in multiplayer by playing the campaign.

The team said also taking balance very seriously. Every weapon has something that can counter it. One of those countermeasures appears to be a shield. It’s a little boring so maybe there’s something more interesting in the final game.

Killzone: Mercenary launches on September 10 exclusively for the PlayStation Vita.
