‘Killing Floor 2’ Update Lets You Kill Your Friends
We’ve had a whole year to paint every surface in Killing Floor 2 with the red and squishy insides of those nasty Zeds. It’s been fun mulching monsters with my mates, covering their sixes and taking time between each firefight to gently wipe the blood from their face while I give them a friendly pat on the bum. We’re blood brothers and sisters now, and nothing gets between that.
Okay, I fibbed. Friendship is a fleeting, amorphous thing with a definition and value that varies depending on the person. It can erode over time, so it’s totally okay if you’re thinking about speeding that process up a bit with Killing Floor 2’s new versus mode.
Revenge of the Zeds gives players like myself the chance to find our former comrades on the battlefield so we can promptly set about making a messy meat pie out of their tummies. We’ll do this because we’re monsters, and monsters don’t know what it’s like to cup the ass of a friend to give them the strength they’ll need to survive. Monsters can’t understand that, all they know is what the mad scientists at Horzine Biotech designed them to do, and that mostly involves killing things.
The versus mode takes a page from the book Left 4 Dead has yet to finish by dropping two teams inside a locked arena and leaving them in there until they’ve sorted out their differences. The update also comes with various technical improvements, a handful of weapons and a map, the prison, which you can check out below.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
