Killer Instinct Season 3′s latest trailer shows off much more of the character Tusk while also managing to tease the new character known as Mira. The game is due to come out later this month and has been rolling out trailers in this fashion for a while now. Tusk was actually teased in a very quick video about a month ago. That video just showed us a glimpse and this new new one is quite a bit longer, and shows off the way the character takes on his enemies.

This new video opens with a cinematic pan over what appear to be some enemies Tusk has already taken down. The trailer then goes on to show the character in battle and it’s here where we eventually get to see Mira. At the 1:41 mark in the video, this new character strides into the frame, leaps at Tusk, lifts him into the air and then apparently prepares to take a bite out of him. This is where we see the character is most definitely a vampire, as her fangs are quite visible.

Now that we’ve got all of Killer Instinct Season 3‘s launch trailers, we have a very good idea about who and what is going to be in the game. Now we just have to try and be patient as the game is almost here. Killer Instinct Season 3 is coming to the Xbox One and Windows 10 on March 29, 2016. Check out the new trailer featuring Tusk and teasing Mira below.

Killer Instinct: Season 3 will be out later this month and is bringing its Ultra Edition to the party. You can pick up the same on the Xbox Store, especially given all the goodies that come with it.

At $39.99, the Ultra Edition will include a VIP Double XP booster, accessory sets, 18,000 KI Gold, bonus colours for characters and retro costumes. What’s more, you gain early access to the season’s four new characters – Rash, Arbiter, Tusk and Kim Wu.

In total, Season 3 will include eight characters. The above four will launch with the season while four more will be added over its duration. Expect both returning and new faces in the mix.

Killer Instinct: Season 3 is out on March 29th for Xbox One. Will you be picking it up? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and stay tuned for more information in the coming days regarding any new fighters.

Killer Instinct: Season 3 is releasing later this month and in honor of the impending launch, there have been a couple of new characters leaked this week. One of the characters that was just leaked is one that has appeared earlier in the remake of the series. The other one is yet another guest character from an entirely different video game series. It’s probably not a coincidence that this new guest character is yet another alien life form, as his been the case with almost all the the guest characters.

Mira is the first player that was leaked, according to Neogaf user no1dead. The second character that was leaked earlier this week is General RAAM. This is the main baddy from the original Gears of War game. Just how the character has found himself in Killer Instinct: Season 3 isn’t yet known, in large part because we weren’t supposed to know he was even in the game just yet. Mira was actually in the very first season of the reboot, but she was supposedly killed, giving her life for her twin sister.

While there is a little bit of art to go along with the leak of Mira, RAAM does not yet have any actual art, though there is a screen shot that does indeed confirm he is in this game. Killer Instinct: Season 3 lands on the Xbox One and PC on March 29, 2016.

Thanks, Shoryuken.

Killer Instinct Season 3 is almost here- the third season of the popular Xbox One exclusive fighting game is going to be more than just additional characters (though we get those too)- it’s going to be a full overhaul of the game, with new graphics, new modes, and a Windows 10 version coming up to boost the game’s player count.

Among the new characters included in Season 3 are Tusk, Rash, and the Arbiter from the popular Halo franchise- and if, like me, you have been waiting to see how these new characters will look reimagined in the new Killer Instinct game, you’re in luck- we now have loads of screenshots to answer that question for us. You can check them out for yourself below.

Killer Instinct Season 3 will be launching on March 29 on Xbox One; Season 3 also marks the debut of the franchise on PC, with a version of the game launching on Windows 10 PCs simultaneously as well.

Killer Instinct is now due to enter its third season next month; with this season come not just the yearly patches and balance updates, but also new characters, and indeed, a full overhaul of how the game looks.

One of the new characters who is being added to Killer Instinct Season 3 is the Arbiter from the Halo franchise. This news post is not about him, sadly. This news post is, rather, about TUSK, who was just teased for Killer Instinct in the new trailer for it that was released today. You can see this trailer below, and you can tell us what you think in the comments section- is TUSK a character you see yourself playing with over the coming months?

Killer Instinct is available on Xbox One; with Season 3, it will also be made available on PCs running Windows 10, exclusively over the Windows Store. On both platforms, Season 3 launches next month.

Development

Iron Galaxy is developing this addition to the game and has announced a couple of new characters that will be joining the existing stable of fighters. At E3 2015, Microsoft announced that Killer Instinct and all three of its seasons would be coming to the PC in the future. At Gamescom 2015 the first brand new character addition to the game was announced. As has been the case with other characters in the series, there are some fighters that are from outside the Killer Instinct universe. The first character like this in Season 3 was announced as the character Rash from the old Battletoads game. The development team also announced that Rash would get a short testing period so that players could try the character out and give feedback on what they like and don’t like about his fighting style.

Shortly after the news of Rash joining Season 3, the soundtrack for Season 2 was released as an album on iTunes and then the composer for the music announced that he was leaving the series. The musical composers for Season 3 were confirmed by Iron Galaxy to be Atlas Plug and Celldweller.

On August 5, 2015 the official trailer for Rash was released. At the same time, Iron Galaxy announced another character that would be joining Season 3. Kim Wu, who is actually a classic character was both announced had her trailer officially released. On December 1, 2015 Shadow Jago’s official trailer was released, meaning he was another character that would be added to the upcoming addition to the game. On February 21, 2016, yet another “guest” character was announced for the game. Arbiter from the Halo series has been officially announced as being in the game when Season 3 launches in March of 2016.

Iron Galaxy announced that new characters weren’t going to be the only things coming in Killer Instinct‘s Season 3. The development team announced it was adding some new graphics technology. Part of this technology included reflection technology for each of the stages. The team also said that it was actually re-introducing screen space color adjustments.The developers also said they were going to have new and better shading technology that would make the fighters and the surrounding areas look more realistic. The company also announced that, along with the new tech and the new characters, there would be three new stages though they have not yet explained the specifics of these stages.

Story

The story that has been running throughout the series is actually a kind of inversion of what fighting game fans saw in Killer Instinct 2. There is a giant corporation called Ultratech which is now thought of by the general public as a humanitarian organization that is attempting to help mankind adapt and survive the future. The company is led by a cybernetic CEO known as ARIA and she has unleashed a number of horrors on the world as a way of trying to test and push the extent of the human ability to evolve. Now all kinds of demons, monsters, mutants and aliens have descended on the earth in order to do battle. It has been pointed out that while there are some aspects that were taken from the original run of the series, the game is much more story driven than the original two titles.

Gameplay

Killer Instinct Season 3 has the same gameplay aspects of the first two seasons, with a few tweaks to moves that are made by fighters in the game. New combos as well as souped up combos for the characters are going to be introduced in this particular season though there hasn’t been a ton of specifics as of February, 2016.

Characters

Some fighters from previous seasons of Killer Instinct will be playable in Season 3. There are a number of new characters that have been confirmed for launch when Season 3 launches in March:

Rash: This character from the game Battletoads is a “guest fighter” that comes equipped with his own special moves. Rash is now a giant humanoid toad but he was once a man named Dave Shar who got sucked into a computer game and transported to another planet. Rash has managed to make his way back to earth in order to join the battle.

Kim Wu: A Korean martial artist who fights with a pair of nunchaku. Before she was a battle hardened veteran, she was a fashion design student who was prophesied to be the one who would take down one of the biggest monsters to walk the earth.

Arbiter: An alien warrior who is Killer Instinct’s second guest character who is well known to fans of the Halo series. This warrior was once a high ranking commander of the Covenant forces but he failed a number of high profile missions and was given the title of “Arbiter.” Angered by his new lot in life, he eventually turned against his former comrades and has now found himself on Earth.

Tusk: Tusk is a barbarian warrior who relies heavily on a two-handed sword in order to take on his foes.

Gargos: A dark gargoyle-like monster who is one of the most feared villains in Killer Instinct 3. This is a character that made his first appearance at the end of Season 2.

Note: This wiki will be updated once we have more information about the game

The third season of Microsoft’s continually popular fighting game, Killer Instinct, will be coming out in April 2016- and, as announced at E3, it will be launching on both, Xbox One as well as Windows 10 PCs.

Killer Instinct Season 3 will also feature some crossovers from popular Rare franchises (remember, Killer Instinct was originally made by Rare back in the early 1990s)- the first such crossover announced was a Battletoads character.

Killer Instinct is out on Xbox One right now. It’s a free to play fighter, with multiple characters that are rotated in being made available to players for free- sort of like how popular MOBAs on PC such as League of Legends and DOTA 2 all do it.

The game on PC will support all control schemes, including control pads, as well as fight sticks, so that should please all PC players.
