Killing Floor 3 promises to take what Killing Floor 2 did and expand upon it with more enemies and more gruesome gameplay, so obviously, fans are eager to see when they can get their hands on it.

But is there even a release date for it yet?

Does Killing Floor 3 have a release window?

Killing Floor 3 doesn’t have a release date set in stone but after Summer Games Fest 2024, we know it’ll release sometime early 2025.

Before SGF 2024, there had been no sign of the game or release date since its reveal at Opening Night Live, Gamescom, in 2023, apart from a few creature and gameplay reveals on the game’s official X (formerly Twitter) account.

If I had to guess on a concrete release date, I feel anywhere between March to June would make sense. We are likely to also see more of the game revealed at a future Opening Night Live. With the early 2025 date locked in, it seems unlikely we will get any Halloween launch that I feel the game deserves—unless, of course, any delays happen.

I can also see Killing Floor 3 coming out in some form of early access, as is the trend with modern PC game releases.
