There is currently no Killing Floor 3 release date. The game was only revealed and first announced in August 2023, though we did see gameplay during the announcement. If we had to guess, expect it to be out in mid-to-late 2024, depending on how development comes along.

In terms of platforms, Killing Floor 3 will arrive on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. There’s no word yet as to whether it’ll be available on Xbox Game Pass, so stay tuned for updates as we hear more about the game.

Killing Floor 3 once again boasts 6-player co-op action, with you and your friends joining the rebel group Nightfall, as they push back a bio-engineered army of monsters. These Zeds have been enhanced with all kinds of abilities and wield lots of different weapons, so it’s up to your squad to tear through them and push them back across a variety of levels.

We’ve only seen brief sections of Killing Floor 3 action so far, but what’s been shown off certainly looks like a step up from the last game in the series. There are gruesome melee finishers, a whole suite of guns to pick up and use, and even upgrades to purchase using money earned by playing.

We’ll have to wait and see what kind of new Zeds are set to stand in your way in Killing Floor 3. If the announcement trailer is anything to go by, this could be the most varied and challenging set of enemies featured in a Killing Floor game to date.
