Killing Floor Shipping to Stores in North America

[[TW]schneidzekk]

Tripwire Interactive are happy to announce that Killing Floor, the hit co-op zombie shooter, is shipping to retailers across North America. After tearing up the sales charts on Steam® for the past couple of months, the boxed version of the game will be on shelves this week. As a special extra the retail version of the game includes 2 bonus playable characters.

With London and the surrounding countryside overrun by failed biological experiments called specimens, it is up to you and 5 of your friends to clear the area of the infestation. Featuring an expansive arsenal of weapons and a built-in perk system that lets you customize and level-up your character you’ll certainly have the firepower to get the job done. Also included in the box is the recently released free “Heavy Metal” Content Pack – the first of many free content packs planned for the game which includes an all new map and new weapons. And with Wave 1 of the “Grindhouse Custom Map Making Competition” just completed and over 50 maps submitted there is no shortage of awesome community created content to play with. The next phase of the contest ends 2nd October and will generate even more stunning new maps for the community, completely for free!

Are these new skins or just two from the DLC?

Well done TW. Nice updated box art on the rear, also the manual looks prettier than the UK version. Hope it sells out as quick as well as my ex-wife. Good job

I just bought the retail copy of Killing Floor on Best Buy after trying out the game during the "Free Steam Weekend". On the box it says "Exclusive! Includes! Bonus Playable Characters", but I dont see any new characters compared to the content on the free steam weekend. Are they supposed to be characters from the 2 DLC? Which are supposed to be the bonus characters?

PS: I used to play Killing Floor (years ago) back when it was a UT2K4 mod. It ceratainly has come along way and kudos to the team for the visuals they have achieved on the UT2K4 engine.

I live in Canada, and most retailers like EBgames / futureshop / walmart says they don't even have the game in there system. I might have to buy it off steam >.>

The Tripwire rep in a few posts above yours states that the 2 characters are from the existing DLC. So "exclusive" may be a bit of a stretch, but it is content that steam users have to pay $2 to get. Personally I think they might have thrown in all 8 extra characters for people who buy the retail version...
