The second stream of content for the Xbox One remake of Killer Instinct is now available and with Iron Galaxy Studios taking over the reigns from Double Helix, you can expect some changes to happen.
Starting with the big changes, Season 2 will include 4 returning fighters, back by popular demand. TJ Combo, a disgraced boxer who was kicked out due to cyber-enhancements, Maya, an Amazonian queen, Riptor, a genetically enhanced Raptor, and Cinder, a prisoner who underwent experiments to shorten his sentence only to become a living flame. Other characters have yet to be announced, however we do know that the pack will round out to 8 new fighters, a handful of them will be new comers.
Some Gameplay changes have been added as well to include a new focus on aerial combat, players can now trigger air breakers and air counter-breakers in against jugglers and a new aerial capture move that allows them to continue the combo on the ground. Existing Characters from Season One will also receive these updates, which will also include new moves to help balance against the new characters.
Season two’s Combo Breaker pack will unlock TJ Combo and Maya immediately and grant access to the 6 remaining fighters as they are released, the pack is priced at $14.99. For those looking for more can pick up the Ultra Pack for $39.99 which adds multiple costumes and kits as well as a port of the 1996 Arcade classic Killer Instinct 2.
