Below are the highlights from today’s Killer Instinct stream from Play XBLA…
- Fulgore has a lot more zoning tools.
Reconfirms that a patch is in the works to fix jail and other issues following last month’s update. - When asked about the future of KI with the loss of Double Helix, Microsoft says to keep the faith and that they are dedicated to the franchise.
- Lobbies still in the works. Will not be in the next patch.
- Fulgore has much of his returning moves from the original games.
- New Ultras for characters are under consideration.
- Fulgore is still a cyborg; he is not a full-on robot. More on this will be revealed in Story Mode.
- Very excited about KI going to EVO this year.
- Working on an official soundtrack release.
- There will be another Killer Instinct panel at EVO.
- Will ensure that KI will maintain its same style and everything with the new developer.
- Reiterates that guest characters are far off into the future. They’re more focused on bringing back old characters and introducing new characters first.
- Cannot confirm if we’ll be receiving a re-release of Killer Instinct 2. Said they are very dedicated to the franchise, so a potential hint that it may happen.
- There will not be achievements for every character in story mode.
- There will be more KI merchandise in the future.
- Cannot give a solid announcement on Season 2 as of yet. Based on information and ongoing support for the game, its safe to assume that its locked-in.
Listen to all of us KI fans! Although, the game isn’t complete and has some issues, the gameplay is awesome with the net code and is balanced. Keep up with the true fighters suggestions and give us KI fans what we want(please)!

Its gotta be RARE since they have been involved as well but people don’t really realize that
Or it may be a lesser known and more obscure game company altogether by any chance
So for the majority of the new infos as well as new details for Killer Instinct these are truly very good news especially for all of us KI fans
They also mentioned that people will be happy about who they got to continue the game, but they couldn’t reveal anything solid yet. Just wanted to add that in.
