The Killing Floor series has represented some of thebest co-opandbest FPS gamesof the last decade, so I’m certainly keen to see how Tripwire pushes new technological boundaries to create more carnage than ever before.

We also get our first look at some of the new specimens on display, such as a massive monster with an overhead blade attached to its forehead. Of course, we also see the return of some iconic ZEDs in the teaser, such as some newly improved Crawlers, so don’t worry; all of our favorites are still here for us to annihilate in one of the hottestupcoming horror games.
I’d never played Killing Floor until I sat down to play the newest entry, and I can’t believe what I’ve been missing.
In Killing Floor 3, you will join the rebel group Nightfall and fight for humanity’s survival. Set in the year 2091, the game’s story revolves around the megacorp Horzine, which has produced a terrifying army of bioengineered monsters called ZEDs.

However, there are some notable changes to the typical Killing Floor gameplay here. Firstly customization is going to be a big thing in the upcoming game. There’s a fully integrated mod system for all the arsenal weapons in-game, and you can truly make your ZED killing experience feel unique and personal. The new game will also have more dynamic enemies, have advancements in player movement, and feature the new addition of environmental traps.
This means you can dash, climb, and implement new strategies when trying to survive waves of ZEDs. The recent gameplay trailer also revealed three new playable Nightfall specialists, each with their own unique set of skills and proficiencies and Horzine’s newest abomination, The Impaler. Also, the Crawler ZEDs will be able to climb on ceilings and walls as well as the floor in Killing Floor 3, making these monstrosities even trickier - but oh-so satisfying - to eliminate.
