Developer and publisher Tripwire Interactive today released the latest free content update for their brutal first-person co-op shooter, Killing Floor 2, just in time for the Halloween holiday. Titled Last Hans Standing, the update is available now to download for free on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One family of devices, including the Xbox One X, and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), adding in a new official map to paint with Zed viscera, event with bonus rewards, weapons, and ongoing weapon and perk balancing based on community feedback.
The mercenaries have received their most dangerous mission to-date, assaulting Dr. Hans Volter’s WWII-era stronghold hidden deep within the Bavarian Alps. Castle Volter, as it’s called by the locals, is a feast for the eyes with high vaulted ceilings, flying buttresses, gilded hallways, and of course, scientific equipment untethered from moral and ethical considerations. This equipment is the secret source of the bad doctor’s death-defying existence, housing the original Dr. Volter in stasis to use his organic matter to create endless clones. Consign him to the dustbin of history and be quick about it; Castle Volter is teeming with Zeds and the situation needs to be dealt with before it gets out of Hans.
Killing Floor 2: Last Hans Standing Update Highlights:
New Official Map: Castle Volter:
- Having been driven from his ancestral Manor, the mercenaries have tracked down the seemingly immortal Dr. Hans Volter to his castle deep in the Bavarian Alps, home of the progenitor to Horzine’s cloning technology.

Last Hans Standing Event:
