To help promote the launch of Killing Floor 2’s recent update, The Summer Sideshow: Treacherous Skies, developer Tripwire Interactive has announced that the critically acclaimed co-op shooter will be free this weekend on consoles. As of today, the free weekend starts today for Playstation Plus and Xbox Live members, which will run until Monday, June 25.
For those unfamiliar, Killing Floor 2 is a co-op first person shooter that drops players into continental Europe where they fight off hordes of ruthless enemies (Zeds) that were the result of a failed experiment. The game has been known for it’s accessible team-based mechanics, but it’s biggest draw is the brutal and over-the-top combat. At any given time, the screen will turn black and white, which then let players shoot Zeds in stylish slow-motion, often with gory and satisfying results. As the match progresses, the hordes of Zed become more aggressive, forcing players to always be on their toes.
The free weekend will also give new players the opportunity to take part in the game’s recent update: The Summer Sideshow: Treacherous Skies.
