Well, here’s some interesting news for you all Killing Floor 2 fans. According to a new email sent out to players by TripWire, the game is selling really well and developers seem pretty happy about it.
TripWire says the game is not only “selling like crazy,” but have also seen 17,000 users trying to play the game at the same time. While success is a good problem to have, as the John Gibson President Tripwire Interactive notes, this also caused a bit of a problem.
As it turns out, TripWire wasn’t expecting such an amazing amount of success. They underestimated the game and only put up servers to handle 7,000 players.
"Get ready for a scary good time! Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive is excited to announce that the esteemed first-person shooter and co-op action title, Killing Floor 2 is set to receive its free annual Halloween update with Blood and Bonfires. Releasing on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), the content update features a new map, mode, and weapons, as well as a host of quality-of-life improvements, making the art of mowing down Zeds with a group of friends better than ever.
The Blood and Bonfires update Halloween event will run from Oct. 13 - Nov. 10 and introduces a variety of new content and game updates, including Barmwich Town, a new map for Survival, Weekly, and Endless game modes that finds players exploring a mysterious medieval town, which has been infested with terrifying Zeds. For all the latest information on the Blood and Bonfires update and more, fans can follow Tripwire on Twitter, or visit the official website."
Starting today, Ancient Enemy and Killing Floor 2 are free at Epic Games Store. The free game offers run until July 14 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.
"Like the first game, Killing Floor 2 is a game that just keeps on giving. Even 6 years after release, Tripwire keeps updating the game with new content. The latest update adds a deep-sea oil rig map, new weapons and cosmetics, and quality of life improvements to the venerable first-person co-op shooter. We played several games on the new map and had a blast," says Co-Optimus.
Well when it's reasonably priced like that what do you expect but more customers... something the big publishers out there should learn from.
Yeah, when it released yesterday the only servers I could get into were Hell on Earth difficulty @_@
I was surprised to see one of my most anticipated games is available in steam . I've just bought it
