Tripwire Interactive has delayed horror first-person shooter Killing Floor III from its previously planned March 25 release date to later in 2025. A specific date was not announced. It will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
All existing pre-orders will be cancelled and refunded. A full FAQ outlining this process for each platforms is available via the Tripwire Interactive Forums.
Here is the full message from Tripwire Interactive on 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
