Killer Instinct: Chief Thunder redesigned
In a reveal trailer posted to IGN, which you can check out below, Double Helix discusses the difficulties of presenting a character which was designed in 1994; studio head Patrick Gilmore said that in 2013 you can’t just “lean in” on Native American culture and tropes without being mindful of social expectations.
That said, he was “in the roster from the moment we started planning this game”, so the developer has redesigned him, modernising his look but keeping his formidable feel. Chief Thunder is a grappling character with mostly ground-based play, and twin axe weapons. The video goes into detail on the character’s moves, which nod at some classic Killer Instinct specials.
Chief Thunder was teased at EVO 2013. Killer Instinct is a free-to-play fighter with paid DLC characters, which will be available at the launch of the Xbox One in November.

BoarSuckTollbigchukka I don't care what it looks like a free game is a free game. I am looking forward to playing it.
Exactly! If it has achievement and or free I will finish it or play it till it gets boring!
Does anyone know the achievements.
I don't think they've been found or announced yet, not that I know of.
Games that don't have any background or hype are ones that fail.
