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.
