Now that the Xbox One exclusive Killer Instinct has been handed over to Iron Galaxy Studios, the developer of the indie game Dive Kick, they have recently announced that the second season of DLC content is on the way. During a Play XBLA live stream, Iron Galaxy Studios announced that 8 more characters will be joining the roster of Killer Instinct for season 2, to add to the 8 characters already in the game. The characters remain uncomfirmed for the moment, but there is the possibility of adding more characters from previous Killer Instinct games such as T.J. Combo, Cinder, Riptor, Kim Wu, Maya, Tusk, Eyedol, and Gargos. Iron Galaxy Studios also confimed that they will re-introduce ‘No Mercy’ finishers to the game, devastating round ending attacks that were in the series before.
The previous season of Killer Instinct added Spinal and Fulgore to the original cast of 6, as well as adding an arcade mode just recently. The original cast consisted of Jago, Sabrewulf, Glacius, Thunder, Orchid and newcomer Sadira. The second season of content will bring the roster to 16 by the end, hopefully introducing more varied characters that will accomodate different playstyles. Killer Instinct is out now for Xbox One.
