'Killing Floor 2' (ALL) Gets Free Incinerate ‘N Detonate Update, Free Weekend

by Rainier on Sept. 3, 2015 @ 6:12 p.m. PDT

In Killing Floor 2 players descend into continental Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech’s failed experiment has quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum, essentially paralyzing the European Union.

The terrifying Zeds are back, bigger, badder and bloodier than ever, in this upcoming sequel where players must survive the fallout of failed corporate experiments and the wreckage left behind.

Just one month after the events in the original Killing Floor, the specimen clones are everywhere and civilization is in disarray; communications have failed, governments have collapsed, and military forces have been systematically eradicated. The people of Europe know survival and self-preservation too well and lucky survivors have gone into hiding.

Not all have given up hope though... A group of civilians and mercenaries have banded together to combat the outbreak and established privately funded operation bases across Europe. Upon tracking specimen clone outbreaks, players will descend into zed-laden hot zones and exterminate them.

Armed with an array of deadly weapons, varying from pistols to rifles to shotguns and the versatile Katana – players can team up in co-op play to better their chances for survival, or for the bravest souls who think they can survive alone, solo play is also available. Delivering on the three essential pillars of the Killing Floor franchise - Bullets, Blades and Blood - and introducing the visceral M.E.A.T. system, Killing Floor 2 will deliver the most horrifyingly intense experience ever seen in a console game.

Currently available now for PC via Steam Early Access for $29.99 (US), ₤19.99 (UK) and €26.99 (EU), the brand new Incinerate ‘N Detonate Free Content Pack adds 50% MORE CONTENT to Killing Floor 2 than offered in the initial Early Access launch. In celebration of today’s release, new players can try out Killing Floor 2 with the new content for free on Steam this weekend from September 3rd – 6th. During the Free Weekend on Steam, Killing Floor 2 will also be on sale for 33% off!

Fans can expect a multitude of new features including two brand new perks, Firebug and Demolitions, each equipped with its own deadly weapons and grenades. The update also includes 2 new maps that introduce different types of gameplay tactics. Zeds are lurking in every dark corner in the terrifying underground Catacombs map and players must employ the sharpest strategies in order to fight and survive the Evacuation Point map.

With today’s free content update, Killing Floor 2 becomes the first title to integrate and showcase brand new cutting-edge gore technology, powered by NVIDIA’s new PhysX FleX technology (for NVIDIA GeForce 770’s and above cards). This ground-breaking new technology enables more spectacular and realistic physics-led effects. For more details and a full list of hardware requirements, please visit: the Official Killing Floor 2 Game Group on Steam.

"With the Incinerate 'N Detonate Free Content Pack we're adding over 50% more content to Killing Floor 2 than when we launched a few months ago," said John Gibson, Tripwire Interactive President. "We're also excited that this release was heavily shaped by the feedback we've received in Early Access to dial in the game to what the players want."
