‘Killing Floor 2’ Journeys to the Catacombs in Next Update
Those damn dirty Zeds aren’t just ugly, they’re greedy, too. Those genetically engineered dickheads have already wrapped their gross, weaponized appendages around everything from the streets of Paris to secluded Swiss mountain fortresses, and with the next update, their sick will spread to the hidden world that lies beneath Europe.
Developer Tripwire Interactive has given us our first look at the Catacombs map they’ll soon be bringing to Killing Floor 2. Claustrophobic folks may want to take a paper bag with them because the only thing that’s worse than being trapped underground is being trapped underground with a seemingly endless supply of monsters with knives and guns for limbs.
Okay, I lied. It can totally get worse than that, but only because nearly all of the lights inside the catacombs are destructible. I suggest you make sure there’s room in that paper bag for a pair of night vision goggles.
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.
