It's been a formidable decade since the iconic shout of "COMBO BREAKER!" echoed through our gaming consoles. Now, we're hearing it again as a signal of the glorious return of Killer Instinct.
With the dawn of this year's EVO tournament, Iron Galaxy and Xbox Game Studios have reunited to ignite the fighting flame once more, promising a substantial update to this beloved classic.
Announced in grand fashion during the renowned EVO event held in Las Vegas, this 10th-anniversary update has set the fighting game community jumping in joy. As James Goddard, design director on Killer Instinct at Xbox, has passionately declared, "You guys made this happen... Let's go!" this update isn't just a nod to the game's illustrious past but a leap into its promising future.
So, what's on the plate for Killer Instinct fans? The first one is a balance patch ensuring every punch and kick as well as "COUNTER BREAKER!!!" remains thrilling and competitive. Then comes an improved matchmaking system, intended to make tournaments smoother and easier to engage with. And let's not overlook the crowning feature: 4K support that's tailored explicitly for Xbox Series S/X.
Although the game had a prior 4K update on Xbox One X and was backward compatible with the Xbox Series S/X, the emphasis on enhancing the Series S experience is evident.
