Tripwire Interactive announces a new patch is now available on Steam to update the early access version of Killing Floor 2, adding Steam Workshop support to the co-op zombie shooter. This is the only change to the client, so they have chosen not to increment the game's version number, as outlined in this post, which explains how server operators can "subscribe" servers to modded content, and here's the Killing Floor 2 Workshop. Here's word on how things work, set to the tune of Elton John's Circle of Life:

"We now have our dream modding functionality for Killing Floor 2, a functionality which very few games have. Game servers can now subscribe to user generated content that community modders and mappers have made and submitted to Steam Workshop, and the servers will auto update when the modders update their content," said Tripwire President John Gibson. "Players that connect to these servers will automatically download the latest versions of those mods and maps from Steam Workshop when they connect to the game server running the user generated content. It's a complete circle that makes it so much easier for modders to get their content in the hands of players, and for players to enjoy all the amazing user generated content for the game."
