Gargos - June 3rd

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.

General RAAM is now available

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!

Oh shit, put Jonathan from the original Perfect Dark in.

Talk about fucking over the day 1 fans, Christ.

They offered a comparable deal for PC players when it released on Windows, though it didn't come with Shadow Jago.

Kind of interested in what you mean by this, no sarcasm. I only tangentially follow KI since I don't have XB1. Something in there that should be "exclusive" to vet players?

Each seasons Ultra edition (which includes all the characters and costumes) for that season was 39.99, from what I recall. So, as of right now (I got season 1 on sale for 14.99 I think) people who have bought day one have spent $120 on a fighter. Which I mean you don't need to buy that edition, but why would you want anything less?

I mean I know early adopters always pay more because you're doing exactly that, but man.
