Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive has announced the global launch of the latest chapter in its brutal cooperative action/horror franchise, Killing Floor 3, for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
“Launch is just the beginning for Killing Floor 3. Tripwire has a long history of developing our games post-launch. The team remains immensely dedicated to creating an experience that expands the Killing Floor franchise. Players can expect new maps, new perks, new specialists, new weapons, and new enemies in the months following launch,” stated Bryan Wynia, Creative Director at Tripwire Interactive. “We’re incredibly excited to share what we’ve been working on with all our fans. We look forward to fighting the Zed hordes alongside you. Stick together and fight until the last bullet. See you on the battlefield!”
With an enhanced foundation, more updates and content arriving post-launch—including the separation of specialists and perks—the bloody stage is set for Tripwire Interactive’s industry-leading live game support. The development team shared a roadmap of confirmed future content updates across all platforms, remaining agile to address immediate player concerns and feedback.
Killing Floor 3 is the next installment in the legendary cooperative action/horror FPS series. The year is 2091, seventy years after the events of Killing Floor 2, and megacorporation Horzine has produced the ultimate army: an obedient horde of genetically modified monstrosities called Zeds. Now, the only thing standing between these hellish creations and humanity’s future is the rebel group known as Nightfall. This intense first-person shooter casts players as Nightfall specialists, joining forces with up to five squadmates as they battle across a war-ravaged dystopian future, survive relentless waves of Zeds, unlock new abilities, and build the ultimate arsenal.
Key features of Killing Floor 3 (via Tripwire Interactive):
- Annihilating Cooperation – Mount the ultimate zombie extermination squad in a frantic 6-player cooperative mode with full crossplay functionality across all platforms. Skilled Specialists can tackle the battlefield solo in tense single-player mode.
- Relentless Zeds – Players will face the deadliest zombies yet. All enemies have been redesigned with advanced mobility and attack methods and retuned with smarter AI, making them faster, deadlier, and more strategic than ever.
- Lethal Weapons – From flamethrowers to shotguns and katanas, players wield an expansive arsenal fully customizable with hundreds of mods, devices, and abilities to match their unique bloodthirsty style.
- Dangerous Locations – Players deploy across treacherous hazard zones to contain the Outbreak. Interactive environments enable tactical advantages by activating turrets, fans, and other devastating traps.
