Update []: It’s been announced today that following the closed beta, Killing Floor 3 will be getting delayed until some point later in 2025. The studio behind the game says it “missed the mark” with the beta and wants to address players’ concerns:
“After taking the time to gather and discuss feedback from our recent closed beta, we’ve realised that we missed the mark. Our goal isn’t just to make Killing Floor 3 an ambitious step forward for the franchise, but also to maintain the core experience that you’ve come to know and love.”
“With the full support of our parent company Embracer Group, we’re working together on a timeline to address many of the common issues players had during the beta, including performance/stability, UI/UX, lighting, and weapon feel. While it’s too early to say which fixes will be implemented by launch, we can confirm that an update allowing you to independently select your perk class and character is planned for post-release.”
The team remains excited to show off a more polished version of Killing Floor 3 later this year, and has thanked fans for their “continued patience and overwhelming support”. We’ll let you know when a new date is announced.
Original Story: Developer Tripwire Interactive has announced that Killing Floor 3 is coming to Xbox consoles on March 25th, unveiled as part of the team’s Siren reveal trailer – which you can watch through up above.
If you haven’t played the Killing Floor series before, think Gears Horde mode / Call of Duty Zombies and you’re about there – these games focus on wave after wave of ‘Zed’ slaying as opposed to a full narrative campaign.
Here’s how the team sets up the series’ third outing:
“It’s 2091 and megacorp Horzine has produced the ultimate army: an obedient horde of bioengineered monsters called zeds. Now, join the rebel group Nightfall in this co-op action/horror FPS that puts you and your teammates in a battle for the future of humanity.”
On top of that fresh release date, Tripwire has also revealed that a closed beta is coming for Killing Floor 3; taking place between February 20-24. You can sign up for this closed beta right now via the game’s website – and we’ll also drop the team’s beta trailer down below.
Pre-orders are set to go live shortly on the Xbox Store and at retail, with the base edition coming in at $39.99.
