First update for Killing Floor 2 contains a brand new map with a creepy fortress

By Stephany Nunneley

The first Killing Floor 2 content update has been released on Steam, and it contains the new map Volter Manor.

Set against a Swiss cliff side, Volter Manor is full of Zeds, obviously, but there’s more to the update than just a new map: Item Hunts have returned to all currently available maps.

Two new characters have also been added for players who own the original Killing Floor: classic Briar and classic Masterson with each character’s respective voice actor returning.

Today’s update also includes a number of bug fixes and other enhancements, all of which are posted below:
