‘Killing Floor 3’ Special Developer Panel Announced for PAX East
With Killing Floor 3 getting a release date bump to later this year, Tripwire Interactive are looking to keep fans up to date on the game’s development, as well as doing a bit of indulging at this year’s PAX East. The developer/publisher has announced a live panel at the event for May 10 from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET. Entitled ‘Killing Floor 3: The Art and Design of Horror’, the developers will take fans on a first-ever deep dive into the art and design used to create the horrific dystopian world of Killing Floor 3.
Featuring exclusive content premieres, fan Q&A, swag giveaways and a prize raffle, the event will take place in the Albatross Theatre in the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. If your’e not able to attend, you can also tune into the panel, as it will be streamed live and watchable via VOD upon its conclusion on the official PAX Twitch and YouTube channels.
The year is 2091, 70 years after the events in Killing Floor 2, and megacorp Horzine has produced the ultimate army: an obedient horde of bio-engineered monstrosities called Zeds. Now, the only thing standing between these infernal creations and the future of humanity is the rebel rogue group known as Nightfall. This intense first-person shooter puts players in the role of a Nightfall specialist, joining forces with up to five teammates as they battle through a war-ravaged, dystopian future, surviving unrelenting waves of Zeds, unlocking new skills, and building the ultimate arsenal.
Killing Floor 3 is in development for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, the PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
