Killing Floor
Tripwire's co-op survival horror FPS in UK stores now.
Haarlem, The Netherlands – 10 August 2009 – Upcoming and ambitious videogame publisher Iceberg Interactive is proud to announce that the highly anticipated Horror FPS Killing Floor is now available in stores all over the UK.
Killing Floor is a Co-op Survival Horror FPS taking place in the devastated cities and countryside of England, after a series of cloning experiments for the military goes horribly wrong. You and your friends are members of the military and police, dropped into these locations with a simple mission: survive long enough to cleanse the area of the failed experiments. The only problem is, these “experiments” aren’t waiting to be taken out – they’re coming for YOU!
Iceberg Interactive CEO Erik Schreuder said: “With the game set in London and typical English countryside locations, as well as featuring refreshingly real English voice overs for the characters, Killing Floor is a shockingly good alternative for the Hollywood style zombie games that have dominated the market so far. Add the very friendly pricing to the mix and this should be the zombie shooter of choice for every Brit.”
