Beyond the release, new characters forKiller Instinct Season 2will be added to the roster on a near-monthly basis. Players can choose to buy the game in several ways. The Ultra Edition, retailing for $39.99, gives you access to all 8 characters as they become available, plus costumes and accessories, and aKiller Instinct 2 Classicport with full Xbox Live support. There’s also a tease of getting special and bonus stuff a bit early, including adding T.J. Combo to yourKiller Instinctcomplete roster as early as September 23.
The Combo Breaker Pack, retailing at $19.99, just gets you the 8Killer Instinct Season 2characters as they are released. You can also buy each character for $4.99, if you only plan on maining a few of the new characters that interest you. It will be interesting to see how the new characters added to the game will affect the overall balance of the roster. At just 8 characters right now, the tier list seems mostly fair, with each character almost entirely relying on the player’s ability to win over possible matchup gaming. At 16 overall, still a considerably small roster for a fighting game, I’d hope that the balance remains near the same.
Killer InstinctSeason 2will be coming exclusively to the Xbox One starting October 15.Everyone wants more October games, right?
