Killer Instinct's next free-to-play fighter is Thunder

4.5
The Killer Instinct free-to-play character tour continues with Chieftain Thunder replacing the vicious furry Sabrewulf as the gratis brawler in Double Helix's Xbox One revival.

Thunder wields devastating tomahawks in the reimagining of the arcade and SNES cult hit, which features a handful of characters from the original game in the series. Since launching alongside Microsoft's Xbox One in November, the free-to-play character slot has rotated three combatants into the fray, first offering players a taste of the action with fan favorite Jago.

Killer Instinct offers players the opportunity to purchase characters individually for $5 or as a bundle featuring the game's first eight characters, beginning at $20. Currently only six fighters are available, with returning characters Spinal coming soon and Fulgore coming in March.

I bought the full game, but you can't tell me this isn't a good deal for people who are trying out this game.

Brandownage27 Playstation is killing Xbox with the games. Especially free to plays. For example, Blacklight Retribution, DCU Online, War Thunder (in UK), and Outlast (next month). Then you have xbox....I mean, you download Killer Instinct, the ONE FTP they offer that doesnt involve kinect, and you still have to pay for every little thing unless you want to use the same character, and same arena, each and every fight. Pathetic. Step it up Microsoft.


Why does everything has to be a competition?Seriously there are things that make the xbox one "better" than the ps4 and the other way around.No stat/spec our feature can make a console better than the other because in the end it comes down to preference.

Does this mean that every month we're going to get a news article about the next character in rotation? Because to be honest isn't it just old news now...
