Killing Floor 3 - Year 1 Roadmap

Killing Floor 3 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC following a delay from March 25th. Set in the year 2091, players join Nightfall to combat the Horzine corporation and its near-endless hordes of Zeds. That means lots of Zed slaying, complete with slow mo. Check it out in the launch trailer below.

As with Killing Floor 2, however, this is only the beginning as Tripwire Interactive has laid out a roadmap for Year 1. The Rearmament Update is first, decoupling perks from Specialists and adding three new weapons – the M14 EBR Mod 0, MKR-350 Assault Rifle, and Streik Dual Defender Shotgun – alongside new mods. There will also be performance improvements and other quality-of-life updates.

Season 2 will see the addition of a new Specialist, DJ Scully, and the Prison map. You’ll also face a new Zed, earn new weapons and mods, embark on new assignments, and more. Season 3 arrives in 2026 and adds the Research Base map, more new weapons and mods, a new enemy, and new assignments. Season 4 will bring Gunslinger as a new perk alongside another new map, boss, weapons, mods, and assignments.

In the coming days and weeks, Tripwire will release hotfixes and updates to improve balance, add new difficulty settings, and implement text chat. Stay tuned in the meantime.
