The axe that clears the forest
In his latest update on the Ultra-Combo forums, Microsoft creative director Adam Isgreen dropped a number of new details about Killer Instinct’s next character release, who is planned to launch on November 24 for owners of the game’s Ultra version and November 30 for Combo pack holders.
Kan-Ra, who has been described as a trap grappler, will serve as season two’s third character after TJ Combo and Maya as well as the very first newcomer after season one’s Sadira. A former Vizier to the king of Babylon, the scholar was inflicted with a slow-rotting curse after plotting to overthrow the ruling monarch. Over the years, he has found ways to slow his painful disintegration, resulting in his life extending well beyond 2500 years.
The developers plan to fully reveal Kan-Ra with a trailer and live stream next Friday, just in time for his official release. A full look at his concept art has been included below; be sure to click through for a larger version.
Isgreen also mentioned that, moving forward, they will be releasing far more details about upcoming characters before their release. This new initiative will begin in January, as the cast member they have planned for December will have an accelerated release well before Christmas.
