‘Killing Floor 2’ Receives Endless Mode in Latest Update
Since being released in 2016, Tripwire Interactive’s Killing Floor 2 has remained up there in popularity. But even after almost two years, it’s been missing the one thing that fans have been clamoring for. Well, was missing.
With the recently-released Infinite Onslaught update comes the Endless Mode, which removes the wave limit of each standard match, allowing players to go through mobs of Zeds for as long as they can endure. That’s not all for this update. Players will now face a new Zed called The Rioter, as well as the return of the Domestic Assistant Robot (aka D.A.R.) from Killing Floor as a playable character, two new maps and achievements, three new weapons, and new cosmetics.
Plus, there’s the awesome trailer below to get you in the mood. To read more on the update, you can check out the official site. If you still haven’t checked out Killing Floor 2 yet, you can grab it on Steam, as well as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The best part about engaging with collaborative genre fiction on the internet is that anyone can get in on the action, with worldwide accessibility often resulting in absurd story beats that wouldn’t be possible if any single person was responsible for the entire narrative. And while Kane Parsons’ Backrooms film is definitely the young filmmaker’s own unique take on the infamous creepypasta, it’s fun to see other creators join the Backrooms sandbox now that the big screen adaptation is getting ready for a record-shattering opening weekend.
As if cleverly timed releases like Puppet Combo’s The Backrooms game weren’t enough (not to mention that Scary Movie poster poking fun at Parsons’ flick), McDonald’s official social media accounts have now released an analog horror video of their own celebrating the liminal terrors of the McRooms – complete with a familiar purple surprise at the end of the footage.
While it’s funny enough to see the world’s most recognizable Fast Food giant engage with internet-borne Found Footage thrills seemingly out of the blue, the video is actually referencing a long-running gag among the Backrooms fandom where creators jokingly talk about there being a fully functional McDonald’s restaurant hidden somewhere in level 0 of the infamous liminal labyrinth.
Now, would it be too much to hope for a moist-carpet-flavored McShake to tie in with the film?
Backrooms is now playing only in theaters from A24.
