Man’s best friend no more: Killzone 2 attack dogs MIA, replaced by killer spiders instead

So while we’re just sitting through the last few weeks before Killzone 2 gets released, some additional details have come to light. If any of you were able to play Killzone: Liberation on the PSP, you might remember those crazy attack dogs. Yeah, well, too bad dear old Snuffy won’t be making a reappearance in K2. Instead, we get killer spiders! Ooooh!

In an interview with PSU, Guerrilla Games director Mathijs de Jonge confirmed that the attack dogs seen in the PSP spin-off title will be absent in the upcoming shooter, and instead, we’ll find other vile threats.

There are other creatures though, like aggressive spiders that chase anything that gets near, be it the player, your allies or even the Helghast. These creatures live on polluted soil which has given them a very vicious attack. Get bitten, and they release a couple of thousands of volts.

Mutated spiders which can unleash electricity? Oooh, shocking.

• Guerrilla on defense: Killzone 2 not entirely gray, has striking difference with other shooters
