‘Killing Floor 2’ Spreads The Gore To XBox One August 29th

Published

Tripwire Interactive struck gold with Killing Floor and its sequel, Killing Floor 2, but XBox One owners have been left out of the fun. That changes next month, when Tripwire brings Killing Floor 2 to the system, as well as the upcoming XBox One X.

In a press release, Tripwire announced the game will be available for Microsoft’s consoles on August 29th (insert Terminator 2 joke here) for $39.99 USD. The game will also include all previously released content packs, including The Tropical Bash, The Descent and elements of The Summer Sideshow. That’s not all, as XBox One and One X owners will have access to exclusive content, such as the new Freezethrower weapon (with eight weapon skins) for the Survival Perk, and the Wasteland Armor uniform, with five different styles.

The One X version will also allow for 4k support, increased performance, high resolution textures and shadow maps and increased shadow-fade-out distance. As well, the game will also include support for Mixer, Microsoft’s next-gen streaming service. Very exciting, indeed.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
