Tripwire Interactive has kicked off another Killing Floor 2 update with "Deep Blue Z". Out now for for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, "Deep Blue Z" unleashes a wave of new content for Killing Floor 2, including a new map, weekly game mode, weapons, and more.

"Deep Blue Z" introduces the new Subduction map, which lies deep within the Mariana Trench. A Horzine ocean lab thought to be closed off from the greater Zed outbreak, following a loss in communications, players are charged with entering the facility and salvaging what can be recovered by Horzine excavation efforts.

As for the new game mode, Contamination Zone, players will have to fend off waves of Zeds while maintaining their position in a designated safe area. For every new wave of Zeds, a new safe area is marked on the map. Fight back the hordes of Zeds without leaving the safe area to survive or wind up sleeping with the fishes. Players can look forward to Contamination Zone themed skins for the welder and syringe.

New weapons for this update include the S12 Shockgun, a semi-auto shotgun that comes with an under barrel EMP blast launcher, perfect for stunning large groups of Zeds. The S12 Shockgun can be purchased individually or acquired with the Armory Season Pass 2 or Ultimate Edition Bundle and Upgrade. Also available is the HRG Bombardier, which is a deployable turret drone comes armed with a grenade launcher and can be detonated with an explosive cluster bomb.

For you cosmetic junkies, there are hundreds of skins, accessories, and outfits available with the new Cosmetic Season Pass. In addition, players can look forward to upgrading their Killing Floor 2 wardrobe with the latest Summer cosmetics, including the Stingray Weapon Skin Bundle Pack, Jaeger MKIV Weapon Skin Bundle Pack, Junkyard MKII Weapon Skin Bundle Pack, Predator Weapon Skin Bundle Pack, and Horzine Diver Outfit Bundle.

It's Ghostbusters Day today! And to celebrate the occasion, IllFonic has announced that their asymmetric multiplayer title Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed will be heading to the Nintendo Switch later this year! Previously released for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via the Epic Games Store, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed will launch on the Switch as the Ecto Edition digitally and physically via Nighthawk Interactive.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed – Ecto Edition will run at a dynamic resolution from a range of 720 (handheld mode) to 1080p at the maximum, 30fps. More information on the game will be released later this year.

"As a gamer, I wanted this to be something I would be proud and excited to play," says Chance Lyon, IllFonic vice president of technology. "The game will feel very familiar on Switch as on other platforms, and it's a high-quality port. Most importantly, I’m excited to play the game with my daughter, who games exclusively on the Switch."

And in case you were wondering, the Ecto Edition is crossplay enabled, meaning you’ll be able to team up with (or team against) players on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

In Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed (check out our review), Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore (voiced by Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson, respectively) open the Firehouse to you and the next generation of Ghostbusters. This asymmetrical game of hide and seek is a 4v1 setup where players will either play as part of a team of new Ghostbusters or a Ghost. Either going solo or teaming with up to four friends online, you can also play the offline single-player mode available in the form of AI-assisted play.
