You see, thereâs then the third bunch sticking their oar in.
The Carrington institute. So thatâs Ultratech, dD snd Carrington, all at war with each other while Gargos tears through into our dimension and messes the whole plan up. Aria of course is the only one privy to all of this and the rest of the roster are just along for the ride hoping to go back to a world that theyâll recognise.
I could see this as a big role in the story.

Weâve discussed a lot (a LOT) of different potential guest characters as we were drawing up S3 plans, and Joanna certainly was in those conversations, as were the immediate similarities to Orchid.
Did she make the cut? Youâll just have wait and see.

love this too!
Yes the Carrington institute has dispatched Joanna at the point that things REALLY got bad. The Dimetional rifts to limbo would definitely spike on Ci radar.
Id love to see her join with Orchid⊠we never knew who Orchid worked for⊠we just knew she went off the radar as a spy and became a freedom fighter⊠maybe her spy organisation was corrupted by Ultra Tech that left her in the field without support?

@TempusChaoti Adam if she aint u know we are gonna need ANOTHER fund raiser lol.
i dont massively get the similarities between orchid and Jo. Not in terms of possible game play and certainly not with the new reinvented âfreedom fighterâ Orchid.
without that in place⊠well they are just both women!
Iron Galaxy are masters at renovations and although i love Killer Instincts diversity there is room for something that feels just a touch simular in season 3.
cant wait to find out!
untill then us guys are going to get her Music, Moves, Shadows, Games play type, Story and stage sorted! 
Soul Calibur 2 Gamecube is my favorite of all time! Ugh, I wish they bring my precious Necrid back.
(cough) Arbiter is perfect guest⊠(cough)
That wouldnât be her retro costume. Thatâd be her MODERN costume.
Have you forgotten that she used to look like this? Her retro costume would be based on the promotional renders for the N64 game.

Thank GOD someone actually responds an adds clarity to the conversation!
All this uncertainty and chaos of people with what ifs and such.
Although, I do feel there could be a solid answer, you donât have to give the development process away, you could say hey this or that character is being fleshed out, whatâs so secretive about KI that it deserves CIA government type information security.
Also, on that note, Joanna Dark canât form into a firecat, and if you ask me, has no similarity to the current Orchid, maybe the 1994 Orchid but definitely not 2013 Orchid. I think Joanna Dark could in a sense pick up where Orchid left off- a TRUE spy and operative stealth fighter, guns and reality based combat skills. She could have the gun kata someone spoke on before, a nice staff or larger gun used for melee, and awesome attachments like jax daughter on MKX

No lol⊠PD0 do you know what the 0 is for lol
It was a prequel it came becure the n64 in its lore so there for its her retro costume 
No. âRetroâ in this context means based on their chronologically older games.
Youâre using the story reason for it being her retro costume, but not the real world reason. PD0 came out after PD, therefore her new redhead design is her modern one because it was designed after the N64 era.
I suspect that revealing a guest character on a whim isnât among the powers that his job description lends to him.

Iâm a little puzzled by the fact that some of you canât seem to come up with a way that Joanna and Orchid could be designed drastically differently, in both appearance and gameplay details.
It doesnât seem very hard to me, and IG is good at coming up with character designs. If Joanna is in the game, itâs a total non-issue.
That said, Iâm not sure she is in the game, because to me, the point of a guest character is to convince people from the outside to give KI a try, because hey look at this cool character I know lots about and already love. And to me, Joanna Dark doesnât really fit that bill for the modern audience. I would think something from Halo or Gears of War would make more sense just for this reason (although I donât think they mesh as well with the KI aesthetic). Iâm kinda hoping itâs not one of them, though⊠but if it is, Iâll totally understand why, and thereâs no doubt people who are totally not interested in KI otherwise would try the game just because of that one character.

I think MS need to realise that Halo/Gears are not their only titles. If they keep the guest list to their top contenders, theyâll soon find thereâs no more contenders left to join.
It already shows how pointless it is, given their devotion to showing off Lara Croft as a MS main, even though the next Tomb Raider is a timed exclusive.
Widen the range of characters and you can make your smaller games bigger, instead of relying on the best sellers to keep your audience coming back.
Wouldnât you get fed up of seeing the same characters in all your games? What next FIFA: Halo edition? What about NHL: COG league? Oh, I know, Tetris: Fable world.
I agree with a lot of your post⊠but:
I dunno man⊠that reeks of ridiculous fun.
It does actually have a nice ring to it. Gears and Locus battering it out on the ice with chainsaw hokey sticks.
My idea Microsoft. I demand royalties.
