Sony Computer Entertainment America’s Scott Steinberg, VP of Product Marketing, has revealed via the official PlayStation Blog that the newly released Killzone 2 commercial will be released in a ‘playable’ form on the PlayStation Store next month.

“The idea for the commercial centred on telling the story of war on Helghan – up close and very personal and to use the game’s engine to show it. No voodoo, no heavy metal soundtrack: just the true representation of the in-game graphics,” explained Steinberg. “The team at Guerrilla embraced the concept and we were on a production rollercoaster ride that produced a piece that will be broadcasted across several networks starting tomorrow.”

You can see the trailer now over on the official blog.

Come March PS3 gamers will also be able to take control of the camera in the ad, proving that what you see has been created using the PS3.

“To offer you some insight into the technology behind this game, we will release a playable version of this in-engine ad vignette on the PlayStation Network coming in March,” added Steinberg. “You’ll be able to control the camera and hear director commentary on how the production was completed using only the game’s technology.”

Look out for what Sony is calling Killzone in 4D next month. Killzone is scheduled for release only on PS3 on February 27.
