    Celebrate 10 Years of Killer Instinct With The New Anniversary Edition

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Ten years ago, on November 22, 2013, the team at Xbox Game Studios Publishing released an all-new Killer Instinct for Xbox One and Windows PC. Since then, Killer Instinct has boasted a passionate, global community that has regularly featured at tournaments. 

    Earlier this year, at Evo 2023, we announced a special update to mark Killer Instinct’s 10th anniversary. Well, with the hard work of our partners at Iron Galaxy Studios, that update is finally here – and we’re officially calling it Killer Instinct Anniversary Edition. The Anniversary Edition includes some changes that we’re hoping will welcome players old and new! 

    Firstly, a new color scheme for our logo, theme, and remastered in-game user interface. (It’s a nod to Killer Instinct Gold, which released on the Nintendo 64 in 1996!) 

    Secondly, as we announced on Iron Galaxy’s developer stream last week, we’ve made significant balance updates to 19 of the 29 fighters. These updates, which range from minor bug fixes to major tuning adjustments, all came from extensive feedback from our community and pro tournament players. This rebalancing will create an entirely new meta for fighting gamers to explore – and we couldn’t be more excited to see what the players will do with it! 

    Another important update is to matchmaking, which has now been fully updated to PlayFab services after initial migrations this past May. 

    We’ve also made some changes to game rendering, including updating from Dx11 to Dx12 on Xbox consoles to help optimize graphics for Series X|S consoles. Xbox Series X consoles now display Killer Instinct in resolutions up to 4K at 60FPS, while Series S consoles reach up to 1440p at 60FPS. The combined updated theme and optimized graphics elevate the Killer Instinct experience players know and love for modern consoles and PCs. 

    This update also streamlines the many previous editions into two versions of Killer Instinct: 

    • The free to play version of Killer Instinct – now available on Steam for the first time! – includes all the previously mentioned updates. This version features one free weekly rotating Fighter and Single-Player, Local, and Ranked Modes, to ensure new players can experience all that Killer Instinct has to offer. 
    • The Killer Instinct Anniversary Edition will replace all paid versions of Killer Instinct, such as the Definitive Edition… and the good news is that anyone who has bought Premium content for the previous versions of Killer Instinct (Editions, Fighters, etc.) will get upgraded to the Anniversary Edition for free! Steam users will also receive, for the first time ever, the Permanent VIP Double XP Booster, and specialty colors for Gargos, Killer Instinct’s main boss. 

    For more information on what to expect from Killer Instinct Anniversary Edition, you can visit our News section on the Killer Instinct website. 

    We’re looking forward to hearing feedback from the Killer Instinct community! We would love it if you tag your social media posts with #PlayKI, so we can track all your feedback. On behalf of everyone who’s ever worked on Killer Instinct, thank you for ten amazing years!

  • Killer Instinct Net Code Syncing Issues (Video)

    Killer Instinct Net Code Syncing Issues (Video)

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    YouTube user “Calvin Morrow” has uploaded a video detailing a very strange occurrence in theXbox One exclusive Killer Instinct.

    He shows how an online match can become desynchronized and yet continue on as if everything is normal. So, both players can win the same match, or, one player’s victory can cause the other player’s game to disconnect…

     

    In this video I show the same match as viewed by two different players, myself (Calve12) & Darksydephil. This match shows that our inputs are essentially the same but the spacing and timing is slightly off, resulting in two very different matches. On his end it registers as a victory while on my screen it shows as a disconnect.

    I show the inputs so they can be viewed and compared to both videos.

    Killer Instinct online syncing problems.

    The bug is posted on Double Helix’s bug reporting thread, so it’s a legitimate concern. Although, this seems to be ‚uncommon‘.

  • Killer Instinct will be released without Arcade Mode

    Killer Instinct will be released without Arcade Mode

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    According to Daniel Fornace from Microsoft Studios, the upcoming Killer Instinct for Xbox One won’t receive the Arcade Mode until all of the Season One characters arrive to the game, that means until the first eight characters of the game gets released.

    “Our Arcade mode is going to come out when we’ve done the eight characters. So once the last character comes out then we’ll have Arcade.”

    So the game will arrive with the game modes: Survival and Dojo.

    “Survival is like our endless mode. The way it works is you pick a difficulty and you go in, and you’re basically playing a long chain, and after each match you regenerate health, but as you go on you generate less and less, and even if you do beginner difficulty, as you get to the higher numbers the CPU does start getting tougher, so you’ll still hit a limit.”

    “You set your difficulty to where you’re at – so if you set it to Champion it’ll start hard and get even worse.”

    “The Dojo is our big tutorial mode. We’re teaching you about Killer Instinct, but we’re also trying to teach you about fighting games in general, and their terminology, because often you’ll hear people talk about fighting games, and you know they just don’t know what they’re talking about.”

    Xbox One to automatically record gameplay when an achievement is unlocked

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    It seems that in addition to the 5 minutes of continuous recording, the Xbox One will record the moment when you unlock and achievement. Moreover, Microsoft opened the possibility to devs of also recording player’s reaction with Kinect when this occurs.

    All this info was from Xbox Australia product manager Adam Pollington in an interview with YouTuber ChampChong at EB Games Expo.
