Knights,It’s hard to believe, but KILL KNIGHT has now been out for a full year. When we first released it, we weren’t sure if it’d find a home. The aggressive art style, unapologetically challenging combat, and strange blend of influences were all risks we took because we loved it… but would you?Incredibly though, you did. KILL KNIGHT found its target audience, and we’re endlessly proud of the game you’re able to play right now. The speedrunning community, high-score chasers, and fans of dark fantasy and arcade action breathed a life into the game we could only hope for, and pushed it in ways

Knights, As the Abyssal Keep takes, so does it give in return... We’ve been hard at work crafting several new pieces of Equipment for your Knight’s Arsenal and wanted to bring you an early look at them in action. This includes a new set of Pistols, a new Heavy Weapon, a new Sword, a new Armour, and two new Augments. These represent some of the most devastating, daedalian, and difficult to master weapons that the Kill Knight can deploy against the ceaseless demons of the Abyss.
