Tripwire Interactive is well into development for next year's Killing Floor 2. But the studio hasn't forgotten the first Killing Floor and is planning a substantial update for later today. The End of the Line update will include a couple of paid DLC packs, as well as a new map pack that will be free for all players.

The Developer's Map Pack will add in two new Wave Mode maps, the medieval castle-based "Stronghold" and the abandoned snowy town of "Siren's Belch." It will also throw in the objective map "Transit," which will bring the horror action to an underground subway area.

Paid content will include new Neon Characters and Neon Weapons packs, which will decorate some of the game's weapons and characters in keen Tron-like colors.

The End of the Line update will be ready for all players before the end of Wednesday. For those that have not gotten into the Killing Floor phenomenon, the game will be available for $4.99 on Steam through July 15.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
