Tripwire Interactive has announced a brand new Killing Floor 3 release date, with the multiplayer-focused zed-slaying shooter now set to release in the summer.
Back in March (which is also when the game was originally intended to launch), Tripwire delayed Killing Floor 3, citing a need to implement changes suggested by user feedback from the game’s closed beta test.
In a new press release, Tripwire says that its development team has been using the extra time from the delay to address that feedback, and so a new release date of July 24th has been set. In the interim, Tripwire says it will release more dev diaries showing off the ways in which it’s implementing player suggestions.
Tripwire creative director Bryan Wynia says the studio has been taking the additional time to ensure Killing Floor 3 “lives up to our shared vision”, i.e. the one shared by the studio and the fans.
The new release date also means that pre-orders for the three different versions of Killing Floor 3 – Standard, Deluxe, and Elite – are once again live.
In case you’re wondering, pre-ordering the Standard version nets you the game, plus a weapon skin set, a weapon trinket, and a player card. The Deluxe edition gets you all of that plus two extra Shadow Agent skin sets, a Nightfall Supply Pass, and 1000 Nightfall Creds.
Finally, the Elite edition includes everything outlined above, but ups the Nightfall Supply Pass total to four and the Creds total to 3000. Pre-orders for all three editions are available across PC and consoles right now.
If you’re wondering what Killing Floor 3 is, it’s the third mainline installment in the Killing Floor series of multiplayer-focused first-person shooters. Taking place 70 years after Killing Floor 2, it sees you and your buddies teaming up to take down an army of slavering monsters known as Zeds.
Killing Floor 3 launches for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on July 24th.
