Killing Floor 3 was initially planned to launch in March 2025, but Tripwire Interactive decided to push the release back to July 24 after receiving critical feedback from the closed beta. The extra time is intended to deliver a more polished experience, featuring scarier Zeds, more intelligent AI, and additional content than before.
For those eager to jump in, the wait isn’t much longer. The game will be available digitally and physically on July 24, starting at 10:00 AM Pacific Time. The delay might have stung at first, but it looks like Tripwire wants to get the details right before unleashing the carnage.
When Exactly Will Killing Floor 3 Launch?
Here’s a quick rundown of the confirmed start times across major time zones:
| Time Zone | Release Date & Time |
|---|---|
| Pacific Time (PT) | 10:00 AM — July 24 |
| Central Time (CT) | 12:00 PM — July 24 |
| Eastern Time (ET) | 1:00 PM — July 24 |
| British Summer Time (BST) | 6:00 PM — July 24 |
| Australian Eastern Time (AET) | 3:00 AM — July 25 |
Anyone who’s been following Killing Floor 3 will know that the original March 25 release was scrapped after the beta didn’t land as well as hoped. I can’t blame the devs for wanting to take a few extra months to tune the game. After all, nobody wants to jump into a half-baked shooter where Zeds behave like headless chickens.
For fans of Killing Floor 2, the question is: will these changes make the sequel worth the wait? Tripwire is betting on more polished gameplay and nastier enemies to pull players back in. But does that mean the closed beta’s issues are fully resolved? Only time will tell.
