Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive today shared the third Developer Diary for Killing Floor 3, the highly anticipated next chapter in the studio’s legendary Killing Floor franchise, following its debut during the IGN Live event on June 7, 2025. The final pre-launch video in the series takes fans behind the scenes to see and hear the inspirations for the dark futuristic setting and how the development team brings it to life through map and Zed design, brutal metal soundtrack, and bone-crunching audio design. The video also teases an early look at post-launch content currently in development, continuing the developer’s long tradition of providing industry-leading live game support for their titles. Be sure to watch a special IGN Live interview with Game Director Bryan Wynia to learn even more about the game. Killing Floor 3 will launch for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), the PlayStation®5 system, and the Xbox Series X|S console systems on July 24, 2025, and is currently available for digital pre-purchase on all platforms.

Killing Floor 3 is the next installment in the legendary co-op action/horror FPS series. The year is 2091, 70 years after the events in Killing Floor 2, and megacorp Horzine has produced the ultimate army: an obedient horde of bio-engineered monstrosities called Zeds. Now, the only thing standing between these infernal creations and the future of humanity is the rebel rogue group known as Nightfall. This intense first-person shooter puts players in the role of a Nightfall specialist, joining forces with up to five teammates as they battle through a war-ravaged, dystopian future, surviving unrelenting waves of Zeds, unlocking new skills, and building the ultimate arsenal.
Developed and published by Tripwire Interactive, Killing Floor 3 is currently in development and will launch on July 24, 2025 for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), the PlayStation®5 system, and the Xbox Series X|S console system.
