Killing Floor 2 is coming to PS4 due to games becoming more expensive to make, Sony has opened up the platform to independent developers.

“We love the PC as a platform and have been championing it for years, even in the dark days of 2005 when all the press could talk about was how the ‘PC was dead.'” President of Tripwire Interactive John Gibson said in a post to the company’s forums. “We’ve been very successful on PC selling million of games, and we’ve no intention of leaving the PC or relegating the PC to a ‘second class citizen.'”

Gibson gave three reasons why Killing Floor 2 is the company’s first game to be released on console. The first being is that the current generation consoles are more powerful, and have architecture similar to a PC.

Secondly, Gibson said that Tripwire decided to work with Sony because it allowed them to remain, “fiercely independent,” whereas other console manufacturers wouldn’t work with Tripwire unless they went through a larger publisher.

Finally, Gibson said that games are much more expensive to make now.

“When we made [Red Orchestra] we had 4 employees, [Killing Floor] we had 11 employees, [Red Orchestra 2] started with 7 employees and got up to 25 by the time it shipped,” Gibson said. “[Killing Floor 2] is being developed by 50 people. With game development costs rising it is very important as a business to make your games available in as many places as possible, to as many potential customers as possible.”

Killing Floor 2 is set for release on PC and PS4 in 2015.
