Season 3 will launch with four characters – Rash, Kim Wu, Arbiter, and Tusk with additional characters rolling out as the season progresses.
Players will also be happy to know that 3 new stages are coming with season 3, including one called the “Arena of Judgement”, a map that is based on the Sangheili homeward from Halo 5: Guardians. Simply login to your Xbox One console and launch Killer Instinct. Developer Iron Galaxy is definitely doubling-down on the apparent mandate to go nuts, getting clever with an approach to the iconic Halo Elite’s design that incorporates his native mechanics in thrilling ways.

Season 3 characters will be available as part of the latest Combo Breaker Bundle, which will retail for $19.99. This marks the first time Killer Instinct is being released on PC and it will feature cross-platform play between Xbox One and PC. The original Killer Instinct game was developed by Rare for Nintendo and was later rebooted and released in 2013 as a free game, 10 years after the studio was purchased by Microsoft.
