Killzone 2 Demo Debuts Thursday

The downloadable demo for Guerrilla Games' much-hyped PlayStation 3 first-person shooter Killzone 2 will hit both the North American and European PlayStation Stores this Thursday, February 5, according to Sony Computer Entertainment UK.

Though the North American demo will be limited to those that pre-ordered the game from GameStop, the European demo will be available to the public, presumably including those in North America that make a European PlayStation Store account.

The demo will contain a tutorial, as well as two parts of the game's first stage, Sony Computer Entertainment informed Joystiq alongside confirmation of the release.

For those that in North America don't feel like dealing with the hassle of creating another PlayStation Store account, the North American PlayStation Store will provide public access to the demo on February 26, one day before the shooter lands in stores.
