Killzone: Shadow Fall Update Is Filled With New Features

A hefty game update for Killzone: Shadow Fall is now available to download for gamers on the PlayStation 4.

While it addresses a good chunk of bugs, server crashes, and multiplayer exploits, the bulk of the patch is actually made up of brand new features, some of which were hinted at earlier by developers Guerrilla Games.

Among other things, the update introduces team-based in-game voice chat, in-game party invites, support for multiplayer voice packs, and personalization tweaks. Talking a little bit more about the update is Game Director Steven ter Heide in a video that you can check out in the featured section above. (Fantastic sweater, Steven.)

He also talks about the recently released Killzone: Shadow Fall multiplayer trial that PS Plus members can participate in right now and mentions a few DLC plans as well. Meanwhile, you can catch the full patch 1.07 notes below.
