Chaos Awaits With KILL KNIGHT’s KRYSTALIZED Console Update

[January 30th, 2025] – The KRYSTALIZED UPDATE for KILL KNIGHT has officially launched on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Loaded with new weapons, augments and features, this new update enhances the brutal, score-chasing combat that fans love, offering even more reasons to descend into the Abyssal Keep and MASTER THE DEMON WITHIN.

KILL KNIGHT - now also available on the Epic Games Store - has been recognised as one of the highest rated video games of 2024, and the latest console update takes the game to a whole new level. Players can now enjoy an updated SEVER Mode, the introduction of a WEEKLY DESCENT Mode, and even the addition of a brand new demon bestiary KODEX. Tweaks have also been made to the lowest difficulty level (Regret) to give first-time players - and those less familiar with the genre - a chance to find their feet in the Abyss. There really is no better time for players, new and old, to jump in and revel in the carnage.

Update Features: 

• New Equipment:

  • INCULCATORS (Pistol): Fires puncturing shards that spike into enemies.

  • DREADFALLER (Heavy Weapon): A laser caster that emits combusting plasma beams and ruptures foes.

  • HOLLOWBRANDT (Sword): Utilises powerful jumping slam attacks that convert kills into empowered heavy weapon shots.

  • UMBRARITE (Armor): Spawns a vengeful Shade to assist in combat.

• Expanded Augments:

  • METICULOUS AZURITE: Restores heavy ammo when firing Wrath Bursts.

  • ABYSSAL FLOURITE: Pulls in Health Shards when Quick Absorbing.

• Updated SEVER Mode: Encounter powerful Krystalized Demons that unleash enhanced attacks and offer bonus Carnage Score when slain.

• New WEEKLY DESCENT Mode: Compete in randomized weekly challenges, featuring rotating equipment and layers. Leaderboards refresh weekly for ultimate bragging rights.

• KODEX: Unlock insights on every Demon by spending TOKKENS.
