On Xbox One, the Supreme Edition also includes Killer Instinct Classic and Killer Instinct 2 Classic.

Killer Instinct: Supreme Edition – ($59.99/£44.99/€59.99 on Xbox One, $49.99/£34.99/€49.99 on Windows 10)įor the uninitiated fighters set to experience Killer Instinct for the first time on Xbox One or Windows 10, there’s no better option to go in fully equipped with the Killer Instinct: Supreme Edition. How can you get in on the action? As in the first two seasons, fans will have access to bundled offerings to suit their own fighting style, including the Supreme Edition and the features-packed Ultra Edition. Try not to get too distracted by the pretty colors and astonishing textures though, or you might let your guard down long enough to open yourself up to a finishing combo. In terms of pure eye candy, this means you’ll notice even greater realism for characters and stages. In technical terms, Season 3 implemented reflection tech across the stages, re-introduces screen space color adjustments, and adds an all-new lighting system.
While these new stages help to truly let the revamped graphics engine shine, each of your favorite stages from previous seasons will also benefit from the improved graphics, as the developers have conducted a complete visual overhaul of all 17 existing stages-giving you 20 stages total (17 existing and 3 new) full of new detail and “pop.” Season 3 adds several improvements to the overall graphics and showcases them in three completely new fighting stages such as the “Arena of Judgment” based on the Sangheili homeworld from Halo 5: Guardians.

Combined with the character lineups of Seasons 1 and 2, players on Xbox One and Windows 10 will have a roster of 26 available fighters. Throughout the coming months, more challengers will appear and Season 3 will conclude with eight new fighters in total. Like previous seasons, the new faces on launch day are just the beginning. Each character harnesses their own unique fighting style, which is sure to lead to explosive encounters and devastating Ultra Combos.
