I genuinely like the trailer music in this specific setting
Iron Galaxytook overcontinued development ofKiller Instinctfor Microsoft following Amazon’s acquisition of Double Helix earlier this year. We’ll get to see what the studio has come up with starting tomorrow when the first content ofSeason 2releases for Xbox One.
Eight characters are planned beginning with Maya and TJ Combo this week, with the rest — Cinder, Riptor, and some all-new fighters — joining the roster on a monthly basis. Iron Galaxy has also revamped the user interface, added and rebalanced moves, introduced a new ranking/leveling system, and managed toraise the game’s resolutionfrom 720p to 900p. Nice bonus.
Similar toSeason 1, pricing varies here. If it’s just a single character you want, they’re $4.99 individually, or you can buy all eight for $19.99 in theCombo Breaker Pack. Then there’s the pricierUltra Edition, coming in at $39.99, which includes everySeason 2character, 16 accessory sets, eight exclusive costumes, and a port of 1996’sKiller Instinct 2featuring online multiplayer.
Or, and this is great for people who have a more casual interest, you can playKiller Instinctfor free if you’re fine with using the rotating character. During launch week, it’s TJ Combo, so that works out in our favor. Curious to see what the “battle-hardened war golem” fighter looks like.
