Last night (or early this morning, depending on where in the world you are), The Game Awards kicked off. Along with honors aplenty, we also got announcements, including a premier of the new Witcher game. Among these was also the next iteration in the Killing Floor series.
Aptly named Killing Floor 3, the below trailer shows the high-octane violence that’s afoot, along with the developer – Tripwire Interactive – saying the game is aiming for a March 2025 release. At this stage, there’s no exact date for its launch, but you can wishlist it now on Steam.
Killing Floor 3 is also coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, with full crossplay capabilities. You can also join the closed beta by going to the official website here. Tempted to join up myself. I’m a bit of a fan of the others in the series, you see.
Getting mad Doom vibes
Having played the first two Killing Floor titles, I’ll be intrigued to know where Tripwire takes things from here. From the trailer above, it still maintains its chaotic, co-op FPS goodness – something we all know the franchise for – but is anyone else getting a hint of modern Doom in there, or is that just me?
But is Killing Floor 3 coming to Game Pass? I want to know! There doesn’t appear to be anything saying so, and the official Xbox page doesn’t mention it, either. As such, it might not be available on the service. It seems that it is not on day one.
Whatever the case, I’m looking forward to getting back into the thrill of taking on hordes of grotesque beings. The first game especially holds a place in my heart, despite me not having anywhere near the minimum hardware to run it when it was released in 2009 (I was using a netbook…not even a laptop!). Also, can you believe it’s been nearly ten years since we had a Killing Floor game? Where does the time go?!
