Killer Instinct is in a bit of downtime while we are waiting for Shadow Jago, Season3 and the PC port, but that doesn’t mean things still aren’t going on. Here is a list of some upcoming KI related events that might interest you.
KI 2-YEAR ANNIVERSARY - November 22nd 2015
Some of you may have noticed a special achievement pop up for those who have played the game over the last couple of days. That is to commemorate the two years since the new KI released 2 years ago on November 22nd 2013. I am not sure if they have anything planned to celebrate but I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough this coming Sunday.
KOMBO KLASH ONLINE - November 29th 2015
Evan aka 8-bit Zombie the wonderful man who brings us the free online beatdowns every week is throwing a special Kombo Klash event sponsored by the Killer Instinct community Fund and Ultra Arcade with a $3000 pot bonus paid out to top 8.
