A dynamic combat system and environmental interactions on the treacherous decks of boarded ships make for exciting and challenging battles. The roguelite approach allows for shorter or longer raids, unlocking content or just focusing on the (addictively fun!) battles.

- Legendary horror FPS game blows up on Steam, and you can play it free - 19 May 2024
Tripwire Interactive has been a mainstay in PC gaming since 2006. Over the years, it's put out beloved games like Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45, Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, Rising Storm, and Maneater. It's also responsible for Killing Floor 2 , the multiplayer horror FPS sequel to one of its first games, and a project that's become a modern classic in the genre since it came out in 2016. Last year, though, Tripwire announced that it's making Killing Floor 3, which will likely cause the current iteration's player base to dry up over time. More recently, the company also announced that it would no longer be updating Killing Floor 2 either and, though its servers will remain live, decided to see the classic shooter off in style with a final free weekend.

- Brutal but legendary PC shooter is temporarily free to play - 16 May 2024
If we're talking about the greatest PC shooters ever, a few names will always come to mind. Half-Life is probably the easiest call. Counter-Strike definitely gets a mention. Go a little further back, and we have Doom to thank for basically the entire genre. But despite its devoted cult following, beaming reviews, and peerless reputation for bloodshed, one FPS game is often overlooked. With a new sequel on the way and updates coming to a close, this underexposed classic is briefly available to play for absolutely nothing, and you can buy and keep it forever for an extremely low price.

Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where the SWAT perk skills Assault Armor and Heavy Armor Training were awarding flat values instead of the listed percentages as expected. Fixed the issue where the Doomstick Alt-Fire was firing an excessive amount of pellets causing an unintended uptick in damage and a significant impact to performance.

Fixed an issue where fired rounds would appear after a delay when interrupting the reload animation by firing the weapon in specific circumstances. As always, thank you for your continued support!

- Killing Floor 2 gets big, free Halloween update in Last Hans Standing - 18 October 2023
When it comes to blasting the undead with your friends, Killing Floor 2 is my pick. Sure, the likes of Valve's Left 4 Dead and Turtle Rock's Back 4 Blood have a lot going for them, but there's a slightly tighter, more frantic feel to Tripwire Interactive's take on the co-op zombie game that pushes it ahead of the pack for me. Now, a big, free Killing Floor 2 update titled Last Hans Standing has launched to celebrate Halloween 2023. Read the rest of the story...

- Killing Floor 2 Autumn Update Changelog - 17 October 2023
KF2 Autumn 2023 Release Changelog https://media.tripwirecdn.com/092023/kf2lasthansstandingkeyart.png Event Last Hans Standing Scanners all over the world found Hans Volter’s hidden castle. Veiled by the Alpine fog and forests, Castle Volter seems to be a fortress in disguise. Your team has enough intel to determine that the castle is Volter’s personal clone laboratory. The time for the final assault to put the old man down for good has come in the new official map: Castle Volter. Nevertheless, every operation needs funding. Horzine has put a nice and shiny price tag on some unusually dangerous Zed specimens. Hunt them down on the new Bounty Hunt Weekly Mode and make some good Dosh. However, we must warn you that the longer it takes you to take down the Bounties, the more dangerous they’ll be. Try out the brand new HRG 93R, a burst-fire backup pistol. Tired of your old 9mm? This new hand…

- Merc Report: Going Hans-Free - 18 September 2023
Oi there, mercs! It’s your best mate, Foster. We’re looking for the brave, possibly demented few willing to volunteer for our most dangerous mission to date. Deep in the Bavarian Alps lies a WWII-era mountain stronghold. Why is this of interest to us? Well, it’s the last known location of the infamous Dr. Hans Volter. (And who knows? Possibly Renfred.) Appropriately, the locals call it “Castle Volter.” https://media.tripwirecdn.com/091823/hansportrait6.png This will be a must-visit sight for fans of ribbed vaults, flying buttresses, hidden rooms, and science untethered from all moral and ethical considerations. https://media.tripwirecdn.com/091823/hallwayshot3.png Most significantly, we now know the secret behind Herr Volter’s surprisingly spry, death-defying existence, and it’s not just sleep, exercise, and diet. Here, the original Hans is being kept in stasis so that his own organic m…
