Having played the first and second game religiously, spending hundreds of hours in co-op in each game, I can safely say I’m a huge fan of the franchise. When I got my hands on Killing Floor 3, I wasn’t overly impressed. I wasn’t disappointed, but it didn’t have the same vibe as Killing Floor 2. But Tripwire isn’t throwing in the towel yet. The team unveiled Killing Floor 3 Year 2 Roadmap, featuring new content, improvements, and community-requested features throughout 2026!
