EXCLUSIVE: Spinal, The Perfect Treat For Halloween

Next Thursday, the grandest online Killer Instinct event to-date will be taking place. Beginning at 12PM, IGN will exclusively deliver new trailers for Orchid, Orchid gameplay, information on accessories and more, all in a special two-hour live event (see this post for details!)! Then immediately after at 2PM will be the usual Killer Instinct livestream from PlayXBLA.

Now with the IGN coverage, they advise that the viewers watch through until the very end, specifically with the Orchid Combo Trailer. This implies that the next character for the game will likely be revealed at the end, which would follow Double Helix’s traditional pattern of announcing new characters. Considering that next Thursday is Halloween, Spinal would be the perfect candidate to be shown on that day, given the holiday’s association with death, horror, and, of course, skeletons. And let’s not forget the recent crossbones emblem shown in the Killer Instinct Pin Ultimate Edition announcement, which strongly hints of Spinal’s imminent reveal.

All-in-all, there are two characters remaining to be announced, both of which promised to be shown before Killer Instinct’s November 22nd launch. While Spinal may not be the character everyone is most anticipating, he would be an excellent treat to receive though on Halloween. No other character would be better suited. What do you all think? Will Spinal be the one? Or are you expecting Fulgore or Cinder first? Share your thoughts in the comments!
