[E3 2015] ‘Killing Floor 2’ is About to Get Even More Gruesome
In the months leading up to the Early Access release of Killing Floor 2, Tripwire Interactive often mentioned how impressive its gore system was. Now that it’s been out on Steam for going on two months, I’ve spent enough time with it to confirm that it lived up to the hype. This game goes out of its way to give Gorehounds a safe place to indulge in the life-sustaining fluids of their enemies, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement.
Tripwire made an appearance at the inaugural PC Gaming Show earlier this evening to share a timeline of what’s to come for Killing Floor 2, and all of it is worth getting excited over.
For starters, the already very impressive gore rendering system will be improved via a free update so the next time you use a shotgun to obliterate a Zed’s head, pieces of that head will cling to the ceiling like macabre streamers. The developer also announced an Incinerate N’ Detonate Pack that comes with a handful of new weapons and perks that ought to appeal to pyromaniacs.
The final bit of good news came when they confirmed there will be no more progress wipes. Starting today, when you play the game, you can do so without the fear of losing everything when the next update rolls out.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
