Killing Floor

The adrenaline rush, horror first-person shooter Killing Floor has won several Voodoo Extreme 2009 Readers’ Choice Awards.

To celebrate the launch of the free Killing Floor “Level Up” content pack last week, Tripwire Interactive and Iceberg Interactive have released a brand new trailer to showcase the new features and content added in the pack. We have noticed a staggering climb in players over the demo-weekend and the new content seemed to go down very well. If you didn’t grab your chance yet, watch this new trailer now and enter the engrossing world of Killing Floor. The trailer can be found on GamesPress, the Iceberg Interactive website or the official Killing Floor website: www.killingfloorthegame.com

The details for the Free Content Pack:

• 3 New maps: Bedlam, Wyre and Waterworks.

Tripwire Interactive has announced a “Level Up” Free Content pack for Killing Floor. This massive new content pack will be our largest free content pack to date and will be available October 22nd for anyone that owns Killing Floor. To celebrate and to allow as many people as possible to try it out, Tripwire will also be running a free weekend on Steam from Thursday October 22nd through Sunday October 25th. Full details on the pack will be available in a detailed preview article on IGN on Tuesday October 20th, so watch for that one. Also watch the web site (www.killingfloorthegame.com) for more details on this over the next few days!

Killing Floor is now available in stores across North America and Europe as well as digitally on Steam (www.steampowered.com).

Tripwire Interactive is happy to announce the winners in Wave 1 of the Killing Floor Grindhouse Custom Map Making Competition. With over 50 entries for the contest, we have been really impressed with the quality of many of the submissions. The best of the best was judged to be Damien Laurent’s “KF-Waterworks”, which wins the top prize of $5,000. With amazing visuals and impressive gameplay the map set the bar very high for Wave 1, and will be one to watch for Wave 2. With all the great maps submitted in Wave 1, we can’t wait to see what the mapping community creates for the final wave where the grand prize is $10,000. Additionally, the Wave 2 deadline has been moved back to October 2nd, 2009 to give the mappers a little extra time to polish their entries.

The new DLC character pack for Tripwire’s hit co-op zombie-killer Killing Floor is now available for purchase and download on Steam. The pack contains 4 new playable characters for you to enjoy. The four characters are:

• Agent Wilkes: One of Horzine’s own security guards, still in his uniform, enhanced with Horzine’s own Mark 7 combat suit.
• Foundry Worker Aldridge: A welder who managed to survive the zombie onslaught inside the Foundry, still in his working gear.
• DJ Scully: Ex British army soldier, moonlighting as an underground DJ when the apocalypse hit.
• Dr Gary Glover: Sent in as part of the emergency response team, Dr Glover managed to survive infection inside his Hazmat suit.

Tripwire has announced details for the upcoming “Heavy Metal” free content pack for their hit co-op zombie shooter, Killing Floor. This first of many free updates planned for Killing Floor adds an all-new map, new weapons and new functionality and will be available to anyone that owns the game.

The new level, entitled “Foundry”, is set in an old iron works which the Horzine Corporation has converted to support their top secret military projects. Exactly what they have been up to here is a matter for conjecture – but before we can send in investigators, your squad has to get in there and clean out the infestation of specimens.
