The Killing Floor series has grown from humble beginnings to becoming a massive and well-loved round-based co-op Zombie shooter – not too dissimilar to the likes of Call of Duty Zombies. After years of waiting, Killing Floor 3 was announced to be coming in March of this year. Unfortunately, the game has now been delayed to an unknown point “later” in 2025.
Making the announcement on BlueSky, the team at Tripwire Interactive wrote:
“Dear Killing Floor Fans, We've made the decision to postpone Killing Floor 3's launch to an undecided date later in 2025. After taking the time to gather and discuss feedback from our recent closed beta, we've realized 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.”
They continued, “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, Ul/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.”
As mentioned, Killing Floor 3’s beta received quite a mixed reception, with fan complaints ranging from the technical to creative. Given the overwhelming success and love for Killing Floor 2, it is encouraging to see the team willing to go back to the drawing board somewhat to ensure a more satisfying and successful launch.
That said, with Killing Floor 2 being almost 10 years old at this point, you’d think the team would have figured out long ago what it meant to be a successful and well-loved Killing Floor game. Hopefully the delay proves to be a wise move.
