While details are still emerging, the *Killing Floor 3* Closed Beta will feature online co-op gameplay for up to six players, offering an initial taste of the new world and gameplay mechanics.

Set in the futuristic year of 2091, *Killing Floor 3* unfolds in a stylized dystopia where the mega-corporation Horzine has unleashed a range of terrifying bio-engineered monsters known as ZEDs. These creatures vary from traditional zombies to more unique forms, such as the chilling Siren. This enemy type boasts a cybernetic neck that can extend to great heights and emits a devastating sonic attack.

In the game, players take on the role of Nightfall, a rebel faction determined to thwart Horzine and eradicate their monstrous creations. The Closed Beta Announcement trailer hints at an overrun research facility as one of the battlegrounds, featuring close-quarters and chaotic environments. Players will have a variety of weapons at their disposal to combat the ZEDs, including traditional firearms, an explosive grenade launcher, a grappling hook, futuristic swords, and even environmental traps like lava.

Mark your calendars for the *Killing Floor 3* Closed Beta, set to launch on February 20th across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
