Killing Floor 3 will not launch in its current beta form following tests that uncovered major technical and design problems.
Longtime fans voiced strong criticism of several gameplay changes. The most significant shift ties character classes to specific heroes, removing the previous freedom to assign any class to any character. Beta testers also reported numerous bugs, performance instability, and inconsistent visual quality throughout the game.
Just weeks ahead of its scheduled launch, the developers announced an indefinite delay, though a 2025 release window remains likely. The team's priorities include improving stability and performance, refining weapon handling, upgrading lighting systems, and enhancing overall graphics. A complete list of planned adjustments has not yet been published.
This move reflects the studio's dedication to quality over rushing an unfinished product. While the postponement may disappoint fans, many will welcome the additional development time needed to meet the series' high standards.
As work continues, the community awaits further news on development progress and a confirmed release date.
