Killing Floor 3 Delayed to 2025; Developers Explain Why

Tripwire Interactive has announced that Killing Floor 3 has been delayed to an unspecified date in 2025. The game was originally set to launch on March 25, 2025, but after reviewing player feedback from a recent closed beta, the developers realized they needed more time to improve the game.
Why the Delay?
In a message to fans, the team at Tripwire Interactive explained their decision:
“After taking the time to gather and discuss feedback from our recent closed beta, we’ve realized that we missed the mark.”
They stated that their goal is to make Killing Floor 3 a big step forward for the franchise while ensuring it retains the core gameplay experience that fans love. With support from their parent company, Embracer Group, they are now working on a roadmap to fix several issues identified during the beta, including:
- Performance and stability problems
- User interface
- Lighting adjustments
- Weapon feedback refinements
A Necessary Choice?
The competitive gaming market is tougher than ever, and the team believes that polishing the game further is the best decision. They want to ensure that Killing Floor 3 meets player expectations and stands out among other titles.
While it is still too early to confirm all the changes that will be implemented, one planned update after launch will allow players to select perks and characters separately.
The developers reassured fans that they will reveal more details when ready, and they appreciate everyone’s patience and support. They look forward to showing a more refined version of Killing Floor 3 in the future.
