This FPS game redefines the co-op action-horror genre with its challenging difficulty levels, deadly weapons, and dangerous locations.
The Killing Floor 3 roadmap is expected to deliver more refined gameplay with improved performance and balance. It also includes new content such as maps, weapons (and their mods), challenges (enemies and difficulties), new specialists, and more. Let’s explore further below.
About Killing Floor 3
As the name suggests, Killing Floor 3 is the third installment in the co-op action-horror FPS series. It is set 70 years after the events of Killing Floor 2, in 2091. The game features a mix of intense combat, teamwork, and strategy. Players can choose different specialists with unique abilities, collect weapons, and upgrade gear to survive increasingly tough enemy waves.
The game supports up to six players working together. The main goal is to fight back the ultimate army of bio-engineered monstrosities called Zeds. Each match challenges players to cooperate in defeating hordes, completing objectives, and taking down powerful bosses at the end. Killing Floor 3 is known for its over-the-top action, customizable loadouts, and replayable content, offering both casual fun and deep tactical options for co-op shooter fans.
