What Awaits You in the Killing Floor 3 Closed Beta?

While details remain limited, the closed beta will feature online co-op for up to six players. Players will get a first look at the game's futuristic 2091 setting, a dystopian world overrun by Horzine's bio-engineered ZEDs (monsters). These ZEDs range from traditional zombie-like creatures to more unique and terrifying designs, such as the terrifying Siren, capable of extending its neck and unleashing devastating sonic attacks.
Players will fight as part of Nightfall, a rebel faction combating Horzine and its creations. The beta will likely center around a chaotic, close-quarters research facility where the ZEDs are developed. A diverse arsenal will be available, including firearms, explosive weaponry, a grappling hook, futuristic melee weapons, and even environmental hazards like lava traps.
The Killing Floor 3 Closed Beta will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, starting February 20th. Don't miss your chance to experience the intense horror-action before the official release!
