The kind folks at Tripwire Interactive have just recently announced a new downloadable content pack coming soon to Killing Floor. Dubbed the "Heavy Metal" pack, the DLC will introduce a new map, new weapons, and "all-new functionality."
The best part about this pack is the fact that it will be completely free and is promised to be the first of many free updates planned for Killing Floor.
While this content will be free, there is another DLC pack in the works from TWI that will have a small fee associated with it. The planned DLC pack will include four new playable characters to use in the battle against the hordes of specimens. Two of these new characters include a "Horzine foundry worker and a soldier in prototype Horzine body armor."
We will have more details and media on these packs in the near future.

The new level, entitled "Foundry", is set in an old iron works which the Horzine Corporation has converted to support their top secret military projects. Exactly what they have been up to here is a matter for conjecture - but before we can send in investigators, your squad has to get in there and clean out the infestation of specimens.
To assist in your task, there are now two new weapons. The first is an old favorite of armed forces the world over: the AK-47. In our case, it has the folding stock, for ease-of-use in close quarters. This one will fit in as a heavier weapon for the Commando Perk and provide extra stopping power over the base Bullpup. The second is a weapon that just about every special-forces soldier in every movie seems to know intimately, for no good reason other than personal interest: the Japanese Katana sword. Just where the squad got hold of it is a mystery, but this piece of Samurai history is just so fitting, such a thing of beauty and such a perfect melee weapon, that we aren't going to ask too many questions.
