It's been a long time coming, but today Microsoft announced that the legendary Killer Instinct franchise will at last return as an Xbox One exclusive. Development is helmed by the developer Double Helix, who has picked up the torch from the original creators, Rare.
On its official website, the studio writes:
"The announcement showcased three completely redesigned characters already familiar to fans of the franchise. Jago, clad in shredded tapestries and ropes that evoke his monastic background, went head to head with an all new Sabrewulf, bristling with hypodermics, but free of the cybernetic augmentation he sported in past installments. Also making an appearance was Glacius, the cold-blooded alien who can create deadly constructs of water and ice."
When the game launches, accessories mogul MadCatz will release a Killer Instinct-themed Tournament Edition fightstick. Killer Instinct gained a reputation in the early 1990s as one of the premiere fighting franchises. It has been over a decade since the last entry in the series, Killer Instinct 2, launched. Now, with the dawn of a new generation, the phrase "COOOOMMMMMBOOOO BREEEAAAAKKEEEERRRRR!" will reenter the public consciousness.
Currently, no release date has been announced, nor has the price of the fightstick. Stay tuned to Latinos Post for the latest E3 2013 news.
