Killing Floor 2
Deck the halls of Killing Floor 2 with piles of gore with the Christmas update here for Killing Floor 2
It is that time of year once again and the holiday updates start flowing out there for everyone to enjoy, just as we should have seen coming for Killing Floor 2. You know, the title that screams Christmas cheer for all. That is what Tripwire Interactive is tossing out there again this year with the latest update for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC version of the game. The Chop ‘Til You Drop update is here for Killing Floor 2 and it adds all of the fun little elements and experiences one could want for the joyous time of year it is supposed to be. Even if this update and game offer up a closer experience to what it truly is like out there for most of us.
Just like every year, Killing Floor 2 is getting all kinds of new gear and features to bring the holidays in the game a bit more but with the setting still overtaking it all. New game cosmetics, achievements, and modes will be in the mix along with all of the Santa costume-wearing creatures out there to kill along the way. It would be interesting to see a full expansion or title in this vein for a video game in general, but for now, we will have to stick with what we have for Killing Floor 2. Although, if memory serves, there was a different title from long ago that prospered in the setting and only faded due to the hardware no longer selling during the holidays…
