Players can expect new maps, new perks, new specialists, new weapons, and new enemies in the coming months following launch, ' said Bryan Wynia, Creative Director at Tripwire Interactive. ' We are incredibly excited to share what we have been working on with all of our fans. We look forward to fighting through the hordes of Zeds alongside you. Make sure to stick together and fight to the very last bullet, we will see you on the battlefield!' Killing Floor 3 launches after a short delay as the development team took time to respond to community feedback with a range of improvements and adjustments to the game, all shared transparently with their community through their forums and social channels throughout the process. With an improved foundation and more updates and content coming post launch, including the separation of specialists from perks, the bloody stage is set for Tripwire Interactive's industry-leading live game support. The development team has shared a roadmap of confirmed future content updates coming to all platforms, while remaining agile to respond to immediate player concerns and feedback. ' We know fans have been eagerly waiting for Killing Floor 3, and we appreciate everyone's patience during the delay.

' Killing Floor is a cornerstone of our studio, and as the most ambitious entry in the series yet, Killing Floor 3 builds on that foundation, delivering brutal co-op action like never before." Killing Floor 3 is the next installment in the legendary co-op action/horror FPS series. The year is 2091, 70 years after the events in Killing Floor 2, and megacorp Horzine has produced the ultimate army: an obedient horde of bio-engineered monstrosities called Zeds. Now, the only thing standing between these infernal creations and the future of humanity is the rebel rogue group known as Nightfall. This intense first-person shooter puts players in the role of a Nightfall specialist, joining forces with up to five teammates as they battle through a war-ravaged, dystopian future, surviving unrelenting waves of Zeds, unlocking new skills, and building the ultimate arsenal.

Killing Floor 3 Review: 6-Player Co-Op Keeps You Coming Back for Gore
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The buckets of blood you'll spill in one session of "Killing Floor 3" could fill an Olympic swimming pool several times over. That may sound gratuitous, but in Tripwire Interactive's co-op action/horror sequel to 2016's hugely popular "Killing Floor 2", that's just part of your job description. It's 2091 and you're an elite Nightfall specialist tasked with wiping out unrelenting hordes of bioengineered monsters - 'Zeds' - obedient to murky megacorp Horzine. One of many threats in Killing Floor 3 One of many threats in Killing Floor 3 Tripwire Interactive Killing Floor 3 Review The future of humanity is at stake as you battle through dystopian streets, experimental research facilities, and abandoned islands, along the way unlocking new tech, weapon attachments, and increasingly violent perks. Solo is possible, but six-player co-op is the proper way play. You'll always remember your first headshot. Combat is a disgusting delight, every impact carving chunks of flesh and spraying geysers of blood. Killing Floor 3 Specialists Six different specialists deal death in their own way courtesy of a unique arsenal and special attack. Your torch improves accuracy in Killing Floor 3 Your torch improves accuracy in Killing Floor 3 Tripwire Interactive The commando wields a reliable assault rifle alongside a fierce auto-firing drone triggered with RB + LB. The ninja, meanwhile, carries katanas capable of deftly slicing off limbs, and uses a grappling hook to careen towards enemies. Killing Floor 3 Weapons Weapons aren't as out-there as they could be. The game foregoes the bizarre in favour of slightly more grounded designs. This feels like a misstep given you'll be fighting giant zombies with chainsaws for arms. Team synergy is key on harder difficulties. While you can get away with mindless mayhem on normal mode, the legendarily tough Hell on Earth difficulty requires carefully calculated efforts. Medics are needed to top up health, ammo bags need dropping, money needs sharing around, and different ammo needs implementing. The knife offers great protection The knife offers great protection Tripwire Interactive From acidic and electrical, to cut and cold, to biological and sound waves, spreading your damage types wipes enemy health bars faster. Truth be told there are a bit too many status effects (nine in all), leading to confusion over the best one to use - especially in the frantic heat of battle. It's not as frantic as it was, though. There are less Zeds in each match compared to "Killing Floor 2", and the pace is marginally slower. This is to for good reason: it nudges the emphasis more towards strategy than speed Zed are more dangerous, dealing heftier damage with each swipe, so you've got to work harder to counter them. The best way to do that is with the surprisingly versatile movement. You can now vault onto pretty much any ledge you see, from balconies to truck rooftops, as well as sprint and dodge in all directions. This boss buries under the ground This boss buries under the ground Tripwire Interactive Don't expect to stay safe for long, because now more mobile Zeds will climb up to continue the chase. There's also the robust melee system. You can parry attacks with your knife, bash to stagger enemies and interrupt attacks, and charge up more powerful hits. It's possible to go entire rounds using the knife only. The environment itself is a weapon, one you can use it to your advantage by powering up sentry guns, activating zip-lines, shutting doors, opening shortcuts, and unlocking chests of body armor. There's way more to "Killing Floor 3" than guns. The melee system, combined with overhauled movement and the class system, gives you plenty of diversity. That's without mentioning bullet time. 'Zed Time', as it's known in the game, rewards the whole team for subsequent kills with a shared slow-mo moment where you can line up headshots and savour the carnage. It's glorious, although the temporarily mandatory black and white filter spoils the party slightly. Between rounds, you'll get free time to purchase weapons, ammo, grenades, armor, and more. This is where an extra dimension of strategy emerges. Money savvy players might choose to horde their wealth and splurge on a powerful gun for the final boss round, in which the team must work together to bring down the likes of beastly chimeras that dig underground and towering mutants who perform whirlwind moves. Charitable ones might opt to spend their cash on a healing firearm and keep their allies in fighting shape. Money management could mean the different between success and failure. Killing Floor 3 Loadouts After matches you'll enter a hub space called the Stronghold where you can level your skills and customise your loadout. These prove the hook of the game. Successive victories grant the XP to change your playstyle, whether you want to lay traps with proximity grenades, give yourself tanky body armor, or boost your firebug abilities. Custom load outs call upon the crafting materials you've collected during matches. You can bolt on red dot sights, foregrips for reduced recoil, faster firing mags, and even little keychains to hang off your barrel. It provides more than enough excuse to keep re-entering the fray. Killing Floor 3 Score 9/10 "Killing Floor 3" offers relentless co-op carnage that gets better the more people you play with. Churning through a thick wave of Zeds with highly volatile weaponry is a delight. Solo play feels relatively lifeless by comparison, and the weapons could have used an extra burst of creativity, but the game gets a lot right. From the satisfying combat to the addictive grind, it wipes the floor with pretty much every other zombie shooter. Time to paint the town red. Killing Floor 3 Release Date "Killing Floor 3" releases globally on July 24th for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
