Enhance Your Arsenal & Revel In The Carnage With KILL KNIGHT’s End Of Year Update

MELBOURNE, December 18th, 2024 – One of the best reviewed games of 2024 just got even better. PlaySide Studios is thrilled to announce the latest update for KILL KNIGHT – KRYSTALIZED UPDATE – launching today on Steam. This update arrives just ahead of the Steam Winter Sale, with KILL KNIGHT being discounted at 33% from December 19th to January 2nd, making it the perfect opportunity to dive into the action. Loaded with new weapons, augments and features, this new update enhances the brutal, score-chasing combat that fans overwhelmingly love, offering even more reasons to descend into the Abyssal Keep and MASTER THE DEMON WITHIN.

With an updated SEVER Mode, introduction of a WEEKLY DESCENT Mode, and the addition of a DEMON BESTIARY KODEX, this update offers something for both seasoned players and newcomers alike. Speaking of newcomers, slight tweaks have been made to the lowest difficulty level (Regret) to ensure it is a little more manageable to overcome. The KILL KNIGHT Original Soundtrack is also launching across Steam, Spotify, and YouTube, allowing you to bring the game’s electrifying atmosphere wherever you go. Plus, do not forget that KILL KNIGHT is Steam Deck verified!
