We are running a free weekend for KF to get everyone in the festive spirit – runs Thursday 8th December through Sunday 11th December. Bring friends! In fact, you can “give” them Killing Floor free for the weekend and call it your Christmas present to them – everyone wins!

The cast of creatures had so much fun during the Killing Floor Summer Sideshow event that they have decided to come back for an encore – now all dressed up for Halloween. This time under the big top the sideshow features such baddies as the Frankenpound, Husk-O-Lantern, Werebunny and more. On top of that, there are a new batch of special Halloween achievements, set (appropriately enough) in Bedlam. Complete these achievements during the event and you will unlock an all new playable character – Commando Chicken. With this event, you’ll also have the chance to earn all the Summer Sideshow achievements and unlock Steampunk Mr Foster, if you missed him the first time around.

The event will only run from 27 October 2011 through 3 November 2011, so make the most of it! All completely free to everyone who owns Killing Floor, as always.

We’ve got a new web page for the event at: http://www.killingfloorthegame.com/halloween.

And, of course, some pictures:

Tell your friends and family… tell people you don’t like (might be the same thing)… tell people you don’t even know. This is a royal excuse for spamming forums. For the next 23-some hours, Killing Floor is 75% off on in the Steam summer sale: CLICK HERE!

In amongst everything else going on this last week, there was one more that we didn’t show you – the brand new Tripwire Interactive Online Store: www.tripwireinteractivestore.com! This will become your source for all sorts of gear related to Tripwire games – starting with Killing Floor. In the past, you’ve seen items from Glitch Gear (which will soon be available through the store as well). Now there are some new Killing Floor items to be had – including a free, limited-time offer on the “Pukey the Clown” t-shirt! So go take a look – future visitors to the Tripwire office may find themselves drinking out Horzine corporate mugs, so why don’t you do the same? Go on – you know you want to hand over the dosh in return for some swag!

Thanks for the heads-up from some of the players: there was indeed a glitch preventing some of the Summer Sideshow achievements from working properly which, of course, made it pretty tricky to unlock Steampunk Mr Foster. Should all now be working fine – server admins will need to update servers, but all clients should update automatically through Steam.

And, we are happy to say, the Steampunk Character Pack DLC is also now available (http://store.steampowered.com/app/35425/) to buy and to use if you pick it up with tickets in the Prize Booth (http://store.steampowered.com/summersale/prizebooth/). Apologies again for the delays – remember, we are extending the Event through the weekend of 23/24 July due to the late start! make the most of it!
