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.
