The moment you have been waiting for is here, and while I’ve got you, let’s talk a little more about KI’s future.
Apologies if my above sentence sounds more ominous than intended. Just wanted to take a little editorial break to go over this trailer, its lack of teaser, and what that means for KI going forward. Actually, give the trailer a watch, since we know that’s why you’re here.
Ok, now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s get to it.
First off – our next character is indeed still a secret, and will remain hidden until we blow the lid off off their reveal some time in the near future. When, exactly, is that happening? We’re sure some of you super-sleuths have already determined the next elephant-in-the-room-sized opportunity for KI to make some noise, but for everyone else we can only say “stay tuned.” Admittedly the news is going to be dry between this point now and the June character’s announcement.
When the time does come to show off June’s character, you will also notice that June’s trailer will not have a teaser either. That’s because July’s character is still a secret, too! These two characters, whoever they may be, will not be teased in any way, shape, or form. No blurry images. No early looks. Nothing until they are properly revealed.
That’s not to say that the next two months look absolutely devoid of any information at all. Shadow Lords is trucking along, and we have a lot to share with you on that front. Adam Isgreen, James Goddard, and myself have all been discussing how to deliver you the most information possible around that release. Hate to say it, but stay tuned a little longer and we will have a wealth of information to divulge.
Alright. That’ll do it. Check out the trailer. The second you’ve finished watching, run over to your Xbox, fire up KI, get the Gargos & 3.1.5 update – which just launched today as a matter of fact. Combo Breaker owners – Gargos invades June 3rd for you.
Killer Instinct Adds General RAAM from Gears of War
Gears of War’s General RAAM Enlists for Killer Instinct: Season 3
Since its launch in 2013, Killer Instinct has become the most played fighting game on Xbox One, boasting over 2.5 million matches played between Xbox One and Windows 10 PC, and over 7 million (7 million!) dedicated fans.
The game’s third season launched in March, and – in addition to a complete visual overhaul of all 20 stages (including three completely new stages) – Killer Instinct: Season 3 features eight new fighters in its now-26-character roster, including returning favorites such as Kim Wu and Tusk, and new characters like the vampiric Mira and the Battletoads series’ iconic Rash. This week, we bring one more warrior to the ring: Gears of War’s General RAAM.
Brandishing his wickedly brutal blade, and wielding innate control of the carnivorous Kryll, General RAAM – military leader of the Locust Horde – is sure to strike fear into the heart of any opponent. Unleash heavy punishing attacks, brutal blade combos, and command Kryll swarms for offense or defense. Locust Queen Myrrah’s personal champion is sure to provide a challenge to all comers… and he’s free for all Killer Instinct players this week!
Killer Instinct: Season 3 is also available on Windows 10 PC, and is an Xbox Play Anywhere title. Xbox One owners can carry over their Xbox One content and purchases to Windows 10 PC, and vice versa, at no extra charge. Xbox One and Windows 10 PC owners are also able to access their saved games, and play each other across devices. In short, no matter where you are or what platform you prefer, Xbox Play Anywhere has you covered.
