The Xbox One’s reboot of Killer Instinct won’t be a one shot deal. Not exactly lined up for sequels, the game is set to receive a second season of playable characters sometime next year.
Packed with a roster of eight new combatants, this second run will use the same $20 pass or $5 per character purchase options currently in place for Killer Instinct at launch. In addtion, the game’s creative director Ken Lobb confirmed that Microsoft plans to continue adding season passes to Killer Instinct throughout the Xbox One’s lifespan.
Killer Instinct, the Xbox One-exclusive fighting game based on the 90s classic of the same name, is getting a boxed edition for $59.99, available only through the Microsoft store. There will be no disc within said box however, as the "Pin Ultimate Edition" is a joint venture between Microsoft and Penny Arcade designed for displaying Pinny Arcade trading pins. Each copy of the Pin Ultimate Edition comes with one Jago pin and one Killer Instinct logo pin, with room for others, which will be revealed during the game's first season of content.
Customers who purchase the Pin Ultimate Edition of Killer Instinct still get the game. A download voucher for the Ultra Edition of the game, which includes all Season 1 characters, a season pass for all costumes and accessory packs, early access to all Season 1 content and a copy of the original Killer Instinct will be included. The case will double as a folio for a 16-pin set designed by Mike "Gabe" Krahulik.
The Pin Ultimate Edition's page doesn't specify how many units are being produced, but pin designer Krahulik wrote in a Penny Arcade post that it's "not a lot." Pre-orders are currently live through the Microsoft Store.
