We tweak their looks, details and materials to perfection to make sure they embody all that makes Helghast… well, Helghast. They are the first and the last characters we design, and they’re continuously evolving throughout the process. RP: “The Helghast troopers form the foundation of all the Helghast soldiers we design. How did you approach updating the iconic Helghast Troopers for the new setting? If and when war comes, these guys will march over the walls and take Vekta through raw power.” They’ve just improved the force capability of individual troopers, and augmented them with an enormous army of combat drones. These soldiers are now used to police their own population, guard the endless borders against ISA incursions, and tip the balance in their favor wherever, however and whenever they can.”ĭan Calvert: “Still, while their ability to field masses of troopers isn’t an option anymore, the Helghast doctrine of overwhelming force hasn’t changed all that much. With limited numbers of able-bodied Helghast available, the infantry required a new breed of soldiers – more durable, more versatile, smarter – and most importantly, able to perform in different and more specialized roles than before. While rebuilding and restructuring itself in the ensuing arms race with the VSA, its focus shifted to obtaining an edge over the status quo by any means except open warfare. After incurring devastating losses during the destruction of Helghan, the Helghast military was forced to rethink its attrition-based approach to warfare. Roy Postma: “They’re still the mainstay of the Helghast military, of course, but the role of the military itself has shifted since the war has gone cold. In many ways they havechanged, but in some respects they’re the same – their gear and tactics have evolved, but they’re all still zealous and brutal Helghast troopers on the inside.” What kind of role does the Helghast Infantry have in Killzone Shadow Fall?ĭan Calvert: “We added a lot of new ideas to Killzone Shadow Fall, but we also wanted to show the familiar Helghast regular forces and how they’ve evolved since Killzone 3. We followed up with Art Director Roy Postma and Asset Art Director Dan Calvert, who were kind enough to share their insight into the redesign of Killzone’s most iconic troopers. Earlier this month, we published a Guerrilla Dossier on Killzone Shadow Fall’s new Helghast Infantry.
