Characters cost $5 in F2P version of Killer Instinct

4.6

Microsoft announced its pricing structure for the upcoming Xbox One fighting game Killer Instinct, revealing that additional characters will be priced at $4.99 apiece.

Killer Instinct will be available as a free download for the Xbox One at the console's launch, and will include a single playable character. A $19.99 "Combo Breaker Pack" unlocks the game's full roster of eight characters, including two exclusive fighters that are not initially available for individual purchase.

Players can also opt for the $39.99 Ultra Edition, which bundles all playable characters, a collection of accessory and costume packs, and the original 1994 arcade version of Killer Instinct.

I look forward to the game, but the prices for the characters, in my opinion are a little too high. Maybe if they considered selling the characters at $3/£2 it would be more worth it (Would also have to adjust the prices of the CBP and Ultra Edition).

Cokes That's a little too much for a character.

Only over priced by about $4.

M249 Always have to be ways to make money in F2P games. Hopefully the buyable characters will not have any advantage over the default ones.

I actually hope they do.

Boar Oh boy, I see a play to win coming. Watch these characters be better.

No, I'm pretty sure they will balance it like they did with Mortal Kombat.

I hope for our sake's they do, Play to Win games like Battlefield: Play For Free just get really annoying and boring when others use money to gain advantages.
