It was James Goddard, official manager of the franchise at Microsoft, who came to announce the good news last night at EVO 2023 in a special video, accompanied by youtuber Maxilimillian Dood and Adam Heart, from the Iron Galaxy studio. The 10 Year Update will rebalance gameplay, add 4K optimization for Xbox Series as well as smoother matchmaking. Subsidiary information is forthcoming”shortly“.
If there is no question – for the moment – of creating new content, Iron Galaxy takes over the controls of the franchise having piloted the last two seasons of Killer Instinct and is therefore on familiar ground. It must be said that their house project, the deceased Rumbleverse, did not survive long.
Killer Instinct 2013 is available on PC and Xbox One as well as Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility. If you missed it, this old Microsoft exclusive has been available on Steam for a few years.
