Killer Frequency Tunes Into a June Release Date

Team17 Digital has announced that its upcoming, in-house developed black comedy slasher-adventure, Killer Frequency, will be arriving on Steam and Meta Quest 2 in June. Along with that announcement they also revealed that console players will be able to tune in too, with Killer Frequency launching on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on the same day.

Set during the 1980s in a Midwestern US town where a serial killer is on the loose, Killer Frequency follows Forrest Nash, a washed-up DJ, and presenter of the ‘The Scream’ late-night show, as he tries to help listeners and callers stalked by a mysterious masked murderer.

As the gruesome night unfolds, interact with callers to the show using a variety of conversation options while listening carefully for clues and information, solve puzzles around the studio that could help prevent their grisly demise, and keep the show going with tunes inspired by the decade. In Killer Frequency, death can come easy but is never assured, so it’s up to you to help Forrest prevent the slaughter, discover the killer’s true identity, and keep the grooves going until dawn.
