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.

They should have made more characters for launch.

Aggie That ultra version seems pretty appealing.

I guess that's the point, you play it you like it you decide to open the (full) game. If not, like me, then you dedicate all the time to using the free character to annoy paid players trollololololol.

Tac-45 5$ for a Video game character do they think we float in money?

For their tiny roster 5 dollars isn't that bad although 8 characters is sad to begin with.
