Tripwire Interactive has announced that the horror game Killing Floor III has been delayed from its March 25 release date to sometime in 2025. This was done to “address many of the common issues players had during the beta.” Killing Floor III will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. All pre-orders will also be cancelled and refunded.
The full message from the developer regarding the delay:
Dear Killing Floor Fans,
We’ve made the decision to postpone Killing Floor III‘s launch to an undecided date later in 2025.
After taking the time to gather and discuss feedback from our recent closed beta, we’ve realized that we missed the mark. Our goal isn’t just to make Killing Floor III an ambitious step forward for the franchise, but also to maintain the core experience that you’ve come to know and love.
With the full support of our parent company Embracer Group, we’re working together on a timeline to address many of the common issues players had during the beta, including performance / stability, user interface / user experience, lighting, and weapon feel. While it’s too early to say which fixes will be implemented by launch, we can confirm that an update allowing you to independently select your perk class and character is planned for post-release.
We look forward to another opportunity to show you a more polished version of Killing Floor III, and when we’re ready to share more details, you will be the first to know. Until then, we thank you for your continued patience and overwhelming support.
Sincerely, The Tripwire Interactive Development Team
