Season 2 came out in 2014/15, with another 8 characters and another mode for those characters.įinally we get to Season 3 Season 3 contains 8 new characters to play as in both Multiplayer and the new Shadow Lords mode released today. Unlike the original, it has been released in microtransactional parts, with characters and content sold either individually or in “Seasons.” Season 1 was released in 2013, with 8 characters and an arcade mode for those characters. A systematic and thematic cross between Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, the 2013 reboot named simply KI is already well known for its combo-based gameplay and brutal, monstrous graphical style. Those of you reading this probably already know what Killer Instinct is, but for those unsure, KI is a fighting game franchise hailing from the 90’s which had a revival in 2013 to critical acclaim. Whilst the characters were drip-fed over the course of months, with the last being released in July, the final piece of advertised Season 3 content drops today, and so I’ve waited until now to provide Invision’s readers with an accurate review of Season 3 as a whole.

Having thought long and hard on this question, having been given the code for Killer Instinct Season 3 a while ago, I determined that the only way you can score a “season” of a game is in retrospect, once you have access to everything you’re paying for. What’s even more problematic is when you’re asked to review a Season Pass, as it inevitably leads to the question “when?” Should you base it on the first content that’s released? Should it be an on-going, evolving review? Should you score it based on each part released and update it as it goes along? Agreed, they’re a good way to get all the content for a game, but realistically you won’t know exactly how good it’ll be until all the content is released. I’ve always had a little bit of a problem with Season Passes for games.
