Here's another anniversary, a Tripwire Interactive celebrates 10 years of
Killing Floor, as the first installment in their zed shooter series was
initially released on May 14, 2009. They mark the occasion by noting that more
than 15 million unique players have played games in the series, which has earned
over $100 million USD over the past decade. Here are some details:
Today,
publisher and developer Tripwire Interactive celebrates the 10-year anniversary
of the Killing Floor franchise. Since the horror based co-op first person
shooter first launched on May 14, 2009 for PC on Steam, the Killing Floor
franchise, including the original Killing Floor, Killing Floor 2, and Killing
Floor: Incursion, has sold nearly 10 million units, earned over $100 million in
franchise revenue, and has been played by over 15 million unique players
worldwide.
Speaking to
VentureBeat last year, Tripwire Interactive Vice President Alan Wilson
attributes some of the long term success of Killing Floor to the studio’s
efforts in providing regular and free content updates to players and Tripwire’s
roots in the modding scene. “With Killing Floor, we’ve added all sorts of new
things over the years,” said Wilson. “We started with seasonal events, which
have been wildly successful. We also introduced new weapons, new game modes, new
characters, etc.”
To-date, Killing Floor 2 players on PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One have seen
numerous free seasonal updates that make painting the town red with blood feel
fresh, with over 49 new maps and 139 mad scientist weapons and more on the way.
To celebrate 10 years of Killing Floor, Tripwire Interactive has released a fun
infographic highlighting some of the series’ major milestones and player
achievements. PC players can also look forward to a major Tripwire Interactive
Steam publisher sale that starts later today and runs through Monday, May 20,
2019. The Tripwire Steam Publisher Sale will include deep discounts on the
entire Tripwire
Interactive Steam catalog including last week’s Spring Content Update for
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam.
