PS Plus Premium's Killzone: Liberation Adds PS5, PS4 Trophies to Underappreciated Shooter

Another reason to return

by Khayl Adam Wed 21st Jun 2023

We knew that Guerrilla Games' underappreciated isometric iteration Killzone: Liberation was coming to PS Plus Premium, but had the happy news confirmed today that it would be getting Trophy support as well. With 10 Bronze, 21 Silver, three Gold, and the essential Platinum Trophy,

Exophase has the full list, but gathering this gaggle of gongs doesn't sound like the most taxing endeavour. The majority are earned simply by completing unmissable story missions and dismembering Helgahst troopers with various implements (M3 Revolver, Missile Launcher, Spider Mine, vehicles, that kind of thing).

After that, there's a Gold called It's All Fun and Games (Complete 24 Challenge Games with a bronze medal or better), a Silver called Gilded Leader (Earn ten gold medals in Challenge Games), and some assorted cleanup.

Did you play Killzone: Liberation in its earlier incarnation? Will you be firing it up and seeking out its newly-minted Trophies? Let us know in the comments section below.

Was hoping this would get trophies been along time since I played a Killzone game. Storywise where does this fit in?

@Danloaded I think it's set between 1 and 2.

Glad to see this got trophy support! I might just end up playing this because of that. Gives me hope that if RESISTANCE: Retribution ever lands on PS Premium it will hopefully have trophies too

Did they increase the number of save states with this release to? It was 8 or so before or did I just not scroll down before

Can any owners of the original digital PSP version of this title confirm if this new version is free to redeem like other classics are? I was able to claim Super Stardust Portable and Pursuit Force, so I want to know if the same applies with Killzone. I still have my UMD copy, but I'll buy it again. On the PS3 Store there's a bundle that includes syphon filter Logan's shadow and Killzone Liberation for $15. I want to know if I can save $5 by buying that.

Yes. I have the digital version and was able to download it for free. I didn't get it through the bundle your talking about though so I can't confirm that will work. (Though I'm not sure why it wouldn't. Just saying)

It's a much appreciated feature of Playstation's classic catalog. I wish Nintendo would follow suit!

Thank you!
Yes, I was very surprised that PlayStation made the decision to make classics available to those who originally purchased them on older systems. I just wish there was a way to convert my UMD library to digital, but that's probably asking for too much.

This was probably my favourite PSP game, playing 2 player campaign was great fun at the time. Cant wait to give it another go, shame it's been released the same week as ff16!

Downloaded it last night, will get around to playing it soon (want to get through the Syphon Filters first). My third favorite Killzone game after 2 and 3 and I'd have it in my top 20 on PSP, which isn't bad considering PSP had a killer library.

@NinjaNicky I’m a pretty hardcore trophy hunter and platinum pretty much everything I play, if not get 100% completion on the trophy stack, DLC included. I can only speak for myself, but I just enjoy having tasks and things to do within the game that I might not normally shoot for or experience and it helps me get the most out of my purchases. It also extends the value of the game in some cases (sometimes unnecessarily so) and, it feeds my obsessive / compulsive nature. 😂😂😂. Bottom line it’s just become something I enjoy doing with my gaming. Hope that helps answer your question!

I got this one for the PSP when Sony gifted it for us after the PSN hacking, so it's free for me right now!! I never finished it on portable, maybe do it now with the added sweet of trophies...

@NinjaNicky They are just a meta game. I agree with the comment above about trophies but will also say I just find it fun to try and do everything a game has to offer, and getting a platinum trophy at the end of doing that is a nice bonus to show I mastered the game. That said, not all trophy lists are created equal. For example, I played over 100 of RDR2 since it launched and am only at like 50% of the trophies because the list is crazy while I enjoy some small indie games that give you a platinum just for completing the story.
