Killer Instinct, the popular fighting game, is receiving a significant tenth-anniversary update set to release later this year. The announcement was made during EVO 2023, one of the largest fighting game tournaments of the year. The update will bring several enhancements, including 4K support for Xbox Series X|S.
The update is being developed by Iron Galaxy, and it aims to prepare Killer Instinct for a new generation of players. It will include a balance patch, improved matchmaking, and optimizations for Xbox Series X|S. The decision to implement balance changes comes after some of the game’s recent additions didn’t receive the necessary tweaks or updates.
The addition of 4K support is expected to make Killer Instinct even more visually appealing, showcasing its fast-paced action, combo system, responsive sound design, and a memorable soundtrack composed by artists like Mick Gordon, Celldweller, and Atlas Plug.
This update will likely revitalize interest in the game and provide both veterans and newcomers with an enhanced gaming experience.
