Just this week, Rare made it quite apparent they were not interested in reviving or revisiting old franchises (source: kotaku). In an odd turn of events, Rare seems to be backtracking. Sources close to both Microsoft and Rare say a new Killer Instinct game is in the works.
Details are scarce, but we do know the graphics engine will no longer use pre-rendered models. All graphics will be rendered in real time 3-D, a first for the Killer Instinct series. It’s also assumed this will be exclusive to the Xbox 360. The only other piece of corroborating evidence is a memo sent to all Rare staff last month. I can’t tell you how this got into our hands, but it was worth it. While cryptic, it seems to point towards the development of a new Killer Instinct title. Decide for yourself:
Proof of a new Killer Instinct in development!
Wow, just wow. I can’t wait to play this game when it comes out.
pls pls pls pls pls let it be true! i need killer instinct 3!!! i will buy an xbox360 just for killer instinct 3 ;p
I’m always interested in a good retro revival, even if I’m not the biggest fan of the source.
