Is Killing Floor 2 Dead?

[Mister Master]

We haven't heard anything new about this game in over a month (including a missing State of the Game dev post and balance survey that they always send in December), we didn't have the usual seasonal Zeds in December, and Killing Floor 3 has been announced. So are the devs done with this game?

"There is no planned State of the Game as such for KF 2 as it has reached end of life. The team is working on the "final" update with QoL fixes and we'll be sharing more on that soon."

i'm glad they at least made an effort to fix a lot of what was broken in the game before pulling the plug so i'll give them credit where its due.

The effort is in vain IMO, since the game isn't even runnable anymore

It was an amazing ride from start to finish, the introduction of Rioters, Gorefiends (can't interrupt the spin), forced reloads (removal of reload cancel) and the other ups and downs were great.

Can't wait for the same suspects to appear in KF3 despite being sooo soooo upset with KF2, the cycle continues as will the threads!

As some have said it already KF2 has reached its end of life cycle and is a finished game.

On SteamDB you can see them frequently do changes and updates to the private beta branch of the game with the last one being 8 hours ago.

KF2 has been live and updated (to varying degrees) for 2612 days as of today.
Pretty good run.
Some multiplayer shooters don't get past their first 365.

If it's still being worked on (even if barely), i kinda hope that they try and de-P2W the game, since they're likely not gonna make money off of any of the IAPs at this point, and there are ways around giving money to Tripwire if you need to use a paid weapon you'll still need to pay real world money, but 100% of it will go to Valve.

They did mention last year they wanted or at least planned to do balance changes with this update but we aren't sure if they will still consider those or not. We'll have to wait until the update is ready and then have to deal and adapt with in whatever state KF2's support ends.

Hope they buff the executable more than anything else.

Pretty much I guess. You can still play solo though and have a pretty good time. The game often goes on sale for about 10$ or so. It is definitely worth the price.

You can't even play solo if you have epic services blocked.

you know i remember KF 1. THAT WAS FUN TIMES.

As long as you have a group of friends to play with, or enjoy playing the game solo, can you really call it "dead?"
