Xbox console exclusive fighting game Killer Instinct will have its 10th anniversary stream on Wednesday, November 22, at 1pm PT. Killer Instinct was a launch title for the Xbox One, releasing to mixed reviews. While Killer Instinct's core fighting gameplay received a great deal of praise, the game was criticized for its lack of content and free-to-play model. Double Helix Games supported the title for Season 1, with Iron Galaxy stepping in for Seasons 2 and 3.
Iron Galaxy supported Killer Instinct for years, expanding the game's roster with returning characters from older KI titles, introducing guest characters like Gears of War's General RAAM, and bringing the game to PC. Killer Instinct's reception has improved over time, with some fighting game fans still hungry for more.
That's why there was a great deal of excitement when it was announced earlier this year that Killer Instinct would be getting a free 10th Anniversary Update from Iron Galaxy. It's now been confirmed that the big Killer Instinct 10th Anniversary Update will be fully unveiled during a developer stream on Wednesday, November 22 at 1pm PT. This developer stream will provide specifics on everything fans can expect from the fighting game's anniversary.
When is the Killer Instinct 10th Anniversary Stream?
- Wednesday, November 22 at 1pm PT
While specifics have yet to be revealed, fans have been teased about what they can expect from Killer Instinct's 10th Anniversary Update. Previously, it was stated that the update will include some balance changes to Killer Instinct's roster, improved matchmaking, and 4K support for those that play the game on Xbox Series X. More details on what to expect will undoubtedly come during the November 22 stream.
One big question that remains to be answered is exactly when the Killer Instinct 10th Anniversary Update will actually drop, but hopefully that will be cleared up during the developer stream. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what this big update means for the future of the Killer Instinct franchise. It's been rumored in the past that a new Killer Instinct game might be in development, but this update suggests that Xbox is keeping the focus on this title instead. Time will tell, but Killer Instinct fans should definitely mark November 22 on their calendars in the meantime.
