Behold the glory of Killzone: Mercenary!

The Playstation Vita is indeed a powerful device, but none of the recent games have shown its true potential yet. But the highly anticipated Killzone Vita might be the first to do just that.

The new game has just gotten it's official title at Gamescom, Killzone: Mercenary, and already the graphics look to be on par with the second and third installments on the PS3. And fans know that the Killzone 2 and 3 graphics were among the best ever seen thus far.

Like most spin-offs, Killzone: Mercenary will be quite a bit different from the core Killzone franchise, as this time around you’ll be playing as – surprise! – a mercenary working with both the Helghast and the ISA. This marks the first time in Killzone history that you’ll be working alongside the Helghast. It uses the behind touchscreen rather nicely for close encounter kills. As can be seen by this GIF picture below:

What's the best part? This handheld spin-off was not handed down to another developer! That's right, Guerrilla Games is indeed making this! So no worries for a sub-par game. They are also using their Killzone engine too, which is why the graphics look so neat. This might just turn out to be the high-profile, console-quality game the PS Vita needs. This alone certainly makes up for the poor looking Call of Duty Vita game, and will certainly be much better than Killzone: Liberation (another handheld spin-off that came out for the PSP).

They said the game will come out next year, more info will arrive soon...
