While many of our fans (ourselves included) spend time with friends and family this holiday season, we are bringing you a taste of what is coming next to Killing Floor 2.

In just a short while a beta branch will be made available which will allow servers and clients to opt into the next content set (and fixes) that we are working on. We look forward to hearing your feedback!

Keep in mind that this beta does not include everything we are working on (fixes and changes) and some things may be missing from the changelog.

Now prepare to bash your way into the fight on your merry trip to Zed Landing!

(As a reminder to all fans, special events will start next year, and yes perk progression will carry over from live to beta and beta to live)

We are looking at several other changes that we can make via live update as we continue to work towards the next patch.

As you now know, we released Killing Floor 2 across officially across PC and PS4 this past weekend. It has been a very exciting time for both returning players and new fans who are just joining us to fight back the waves of Zeds! First of all, we would like to thank all of you for joining us on this journey of what is only one major milestone of hopefully a long trip together.

We’ve been spending a good chunk of our time since Friday monitoring stats, looking at crash reports, and reading player feedback. Today I want to let you know how that is turning into direct action from us.

Globally we are looking at feedback on the Firebug and, new with the launch of the game, the Survivalist. While I don’t have any information to share just yet; we are looking into some changes for both of these perks based on player feedback. We should have more on these over the coming days/weeks. Remember you can keep an eye on the top issues we are tracking here on our Trello board: https://trello.com/b/ZOwMRlcW/killing-floor-2-community-issue-roadmap

Beyond these issues, we have been reproducing community reported bugs and are starting to work on addressing them in our next update. Our content teams are also hard at work; for those of you just joining us with the launch of the game we are working towards a new weapon for the Berserker (the mace and shield), a new Zed (double bladed Gorefast), and a new map!

Looking ahead into next year, our production team is sorting out the roadmap for our intended content goals which includes: New Maps (both our own and community created ones taken official), New Weapons (for many if not all of the perks including some old favorites), New Zeds, New Boss (or potentially more) and New Game Modes, along with the return of the Seasonal Events from Killing Floor 1. Many of these items are in some sort of prototype or production already (one old favorite weapon and one soon to be new favorite are in early testing), so it is shaping up to be an exciting year ahead!

As an additional note for PC players who participated in our Early Access, we believe we have found a way to retroactively grant players the reward items. This will likely be part of our next update, but we will keep players informed via the support site and KB article on the subject.

Many players are reporting having trouble accessing any items from their KF 2 inventories (and other third party titles that use Steam servers).

Right now it looks like those servers are reporting as delayed:

We have reached out to Valve and hope to have it resolved as soon as possible.
