So far, Killing Floor 2 has been a little sparse on the content front. Tripwire Interactive’s treatment of the Early Access release as a “polished beta” has been the reasoning behind this. What we do have so far looks and plays great, so the announcement of additional content today is a welcome one.
The first major content pack for Killing Floor 2 includes a new map, Volter Manor, new achievements, new collectibles, and a pair of old friends.
As well as this, Update 1008 has landed, introducing a suite of bug fixes and improvements, detailed below:
Map
- New map: Volter Manor

UI
- Improved XP barks on player HUD
