Tripwire Interactive today officially released the latest content update to their co-op sci-fi horror FPS game, KILLING FLOOR 2, which is currently available for PC via Steam Early Access for $29.99 (US). The brand new Return of the Patriarch Content Pack marks the long awaited arrival of the infamous final boss from the original KILLING FLOOR, the Patriarch! Formerly known as Kevin Clamely, the CEO and founder of Horzine Biotech, the Patriarch has found his way to KILLING FLOOR 2 and he's back with a vengeance. Feared by all, the Patriarch is even deadlier than ever, with new attacks that very few will be able to survive.

Additionally, two new maps will be included in the Return of the Patriarch Content Pack. The new Farmhouse map takes players into a misty, dimly-lit farmhouse far from civilization. With deadly Zeds crawling around every corner, players must do their best to destroy them all. They'll also find themselves isolated from humanity in the new Black Forest map where dangerous creatures live deep within the woods.

Available now with the release of the Return of the Patriarch Content Pack, players will be able to further explore the horrific world of KILLING FLOOR 2 with brand new features including the following features listed below. A full detailed list of all content additions, bug fixes and tuning can be found on the Official KILLING FLOOR 2 Game Group on Steam.
