Visari, the leader of the Helghast, is dead, but the war is far from over. Helghast forces have mounted a devastating counterattack, prompting the ISA (Interplanetary Strategic Alliance) to smoke out evacuation of planet Helghan. As new Helghast battalions appear, armed with more powerful weapons, ISA forces find themselves outmanned, outgunned and surrounded. Players of Killzone 3 will need to learn more about their enemy and use new tools to continue the fight.


The game starts with the disguised Sev and Rico rescuing Captain Narville from execution by Jorhan Stahl, the main antagonist of the game. It then flashes six months back to right after the end of Killzone 2 with Sev sitting on the steps of the palace that belonged to the now dead Visari. A resurgent Helghast army, which appears to have received massive reinforcements, begins to decimate the remaining ISA forces. The ISA is now desperately trying to regroup and withdraw from the planet Helghan due to the imminent threat of defeat and annihilation.
