Sydney, 6 August, 2013: Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCE Aust.) has this week kicked off a search to find the Ultimate Recruit for its highly anticipated PlayStation®Vita (PS Vita) exclusive title Killzone™: Mercenary.

Now open to applicants, the recruitment drive asks candidates to design their own ‘contract’, detailing what they would do and how far they would go for the AUD$10,000 reward. The successful entrant will be required to carry out the terms of their contract.

Just like the mercenary featured in the new Killzone™ franchise game, the Ultimate Recruit is challenged to give up all their allegiances for the money. Applications will be judged on creativity, originality, skill and passion for the Killzone franchise and PlayStation Vita.

Applications close on 16th August. Once the winner is chosen, SCE Aust. will fly the recruit to Sydney to carry out an approved contract under strict supervision before they take home the AUD$10,000 cash reward.

Scheduled for release in Australia on 4th September 2013, with a recommended retail price of AUD$54.95, Killzone: Mercenary for PlayStation Vita is the fifth title in the franchise and sees you take on the role of veteran UCN soldier, Arran Danner, now a battle hardened mercenary-for-hire. Killzone: Mercenary throws you into a deadly fire fight as part of a ruthless mercenary faction. There is no good. There is no evil. There is only the mission. This hardened mercenary is forced to question whether the price of victory can sometimes be too high, no matter how big the pay cheque.
