Well, here is a reason to give big thanks to Iceberg Interactive over in Europe. We’ve talked about special editions. we’ve talked about adding playable female characters – and we’ve talked about new voicepacks. So, with over 1 million units sold and some assistance from Iceberg, we now have… a Killing Floor Gold Boxed Edition, with an exclusive FEMALE playable character, along with voice work in English, French and German for her.  Their full news post is on their website – click HERE. The new edition can also be pre-ordered (for shipment to Europe) on their site. We’ll have imports of the box up on the Tripwire Interactive web store shortly, for shipping to North America. Shipments will be sent out, starting on 1 June 2012.

And, so everyone understands, the box comes with:

• Killing Floor
• The 6 current DLC packs
• 1 exclusive female playable character, with female voice packs in English, French and German

This will be the ONLY way to get that female playable character. For those who already own the game and/or any of the existing DLC, all of those will show up as tradeable/giftable items in your Steam inventory for you to swap with friends or even just give away!

For the more public-spirited amongst you and your friends, here is an opportunity to shoot zombies AND give to a good cause: the Groupees Be Mine 2 Game + Music Bundle. Every $2 contributed will provide 1 meal for the hungry, through Feed Them With Music. For you or your friends to get your hands on a copy of Killing Floor (and a whole bunch of other goodies), you’ll need to donate at least 5 meals (that is $10, for the math-challenged). And we expect anyone taking advantage of a deal like this to donate MORE! Pass the word around – you can have fun AND do some good!

Tripwire Interactive are thrilled to announce that Killing Floor has sold more than 1 million copies on PC – and is still selling strongly! This is a major achievement from any game studio as few games, even multi-million-dollar AAA titles, ever sell over 1 million copies on PC. As a truly independent outfit who have funded ourselves all the way, we are particularly proud of the achievement. Our thanks go to all the developers of the Killing Floor mod and everyone on the team here at Tripwire Interactive, who’s continued support has made the game such a huge success.  We would also like to thank all the members of the community who have made maps and other add-ons for the game, with the Killing Floor SDK. And, most importantly, we offer our thanks to all of the fans and everyone who has bought the game over the past two years and helped make Killing Floor the cultural phenomenon that it is today.

As everyone loves stats, here are some of the important ones:

• 1.1 MILLION copies of Killing Floor sold on PC in 2 and a half years
• Nearly 2 million Killing Floor DLC packs sold
• 45 MILLION hours of Killing Floor played to date
• 440 MILLION Zeds have been dispatched in Achievements alone – including more than a quarter-million Christmas Santa
• Zeds are being killed by you at the rate of over 20,000 an hour!
• Hundreds of custom maps have been created by the community

But we’re not just here to brag! In fact we’ve decided to do something very special to celebrate the 1 million copies milestone. For the next three days we’re practically giving the game away with a massive discount of 85% as the “Midweek Madness” feature on Steam this week. That is the cheapest we’ve ever sold the game for. If you have friends who don’t yet play the game, now is the time to educate them on the joys of Killing Floor. You all go on playing the games we make for PC and we’ll go on making and supporting them!

We hope everyone enjoyed the Killing Floor Twisted Christmas through the holiday season, but now it is time for everything to return to “normal”. Well, back to “KF normal”, where the inhabitants are just normal, everyday monsters trying to rip your arms off. So, the game should now be back to that “normal”, Enjoy it!

[We also fixed an annoying little exploit on the dual magnums. So stop trying to use it :p]
