What's Available in the Killing Floor 3 Closed Beta?

Details are limited, but the Closed Beta will feature online co-op for up to six players. Experience the new world and gameplay firsthand.

Killing Floor 3 is set in the dystopian 2091, where Horzine Corporation's bio-engineered monsters (ZEDs) run rampant. These ZEDs vary wildly, from zombie-like creatures to terrifying new types, such as the Siren—a creature with a cybernetic neck extension that unleashes devastating sonic attacks.

Players join Nightfall, a rebel faction fighting Horzine and its monstrous creations. The Closed Beta trailer showcases a chaotic, close-quarters research facility overrun with ZEDs. Expect diverse weaponry, including firearms, grenade launchers, grappling hooks, futuristic swords, and even environmental hazards like lava traps.

The Killing Floor 3 Closed Beta will launch February 20th on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
