      Killing Floor 3 has been postponed to an "undetermined date" in 2025, but this might not be entirely bad news. The team at Tripwire Interactive shared this update on social media earlier today, indicating that they "missed the mark" on the game and require additional time to revise it.

      “We're collaborating on a timeline to address many of the common concerns players had during the beta, such as performance/stability, UI/UX, lighting, and weapon feel,” the team stated in a BlueSky post.

      Fans were eagerly anticipating the beta, but shortly after its release, players began to observe discrepancies. The Killing Floor subreddit is filled with disappointed comments, and a poll from the subreddit revealed that around a third of respondents no longer intend to purchase the game.

      Players commented that the game felt more like a mobile title than a worthy sequel to a beloved franchise, citing issues like buggy collisions, a proposed battle pass, and quicktime events. Additionally, they expressed that the interface seemed generic and could have been taken from any mobile game, lacking the cohesive feel of the shop menu in Killing Floor 2.

      Further critiques targeted the graphics and lighting, with players referencing other titles that utilize Unreal Engine 5 more effectively for clearer visuals.

      Overall, the beta received a mixed reception. Tripwire Interactive has not provided a release date, but their message suggested their aspirations for improvements before the full launch.

      Players were particularly frustrated with the in-game system that limited specific classes to specific characters, but Tripwire has indicated that an update is already in the works for post-release to allow players to choose classes and characters independently.

      Unlike typical delays, the fan community welcomed this news with a sense of relief. Long-time fans of the Killing Floor series—initially launched as an Unreal Tournament 2004 mod in 2005—expressed their preference for waiting for a more polished game.

      Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 has been canceled following the studio's merger with Blizzard.

      If you had hoped for more Tony Hawk remasters after the success of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, those aspirations were dashed long ago. Reports indicate that the development of a remake for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 was called off after Vicarious Visions merged with Blizzard.

      This revelation came from a conversation between Twitch streamer AndyTHPS and Tony Hawk during a broadcast on Monday night. The iconic skateboarder revealed that there were plans to remake Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, but those plans were scrapped when Activision Blizzard chose to fully absorb Vicarious Visions in April, a transition that had been planned since the beginning of the year.

      The Witcher 3’s long-awaited upgrade is finally approaching.

      The current-gen edition of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which will enhance the game for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, is now expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2022, according to a tweet from the developer, CD Projekt Red.

      This announcement coincides with the seventh anniversary of the original game's release in May 2015. While the exact launch date for the current-gen version remains uncertain, it is anticipated to arrive by the end of the year, ideally in time for the holiday season.

      The Witcher 3’s current-gen port has faced yet another delay.

      CD Projekt Red has declared that the current-gen port of The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt will not be arriving anytime soon. In a statement on the game's Twitter account, the developer mentioned that the port, which was initially expected to release in the second fiscal quarter of this year, has been postponed "until further notice." The game had previously been delayed to this year.
