Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive today announced that the highly anticipated next chapter in the studio's legendary Killing Floor franchise, Killing Floor 3, will be delayed and will not launch on the previously announced release date of March 25. Revealed in a message directly to its community, Tripwire, with support from its parent company The Embracer Group, announced the delay and discussed initial details on what the team is evaluating as priority issues to address. The delay will move the game's launch to a date to be determined later in 2025. Fans who have pre-ordered the game will be offered refunds and can refer to the online FAQ for additional details.

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 bioengineered 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 for PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), the PlayStation 5 system, and the Xbox Series X|S console system. More information regarding the game's updated release date will be shared in the future.
