411mania - Microsoft finally announced the long-awaited new entry in the Killer Instinct franchise at E3 this year. Unfortunately we weren't able to play the game at that time, but come San Diego Comic-Con 2013, we finally got the chance to pick up and play it. It's hard to believe the first one first graced the arcades in 1994, and it took almost twenty years to get a new follow-up. The Xbox One demo of the game was available to play at Microsoft's Xbox Media Showcase during Comic-Con International. So here's how it stacked up.
Exciting news, Combo Breakers: Killer Instinct Anniversary Edition will be available TOMORROW, November 28, at 12PM Pacific!

This is how you support your first party games! Continued support after 10 years!
The Killer Instinct fans appreciated and the whole FG community celebrates!
Congrats goes to Matt, Mick, Adam and everyone at Iron Galaxy!
Tomorrow we fight together! I can´t wait!
I love KI (still play the old arcade version) but feel like the Xbox version is like a big intimidating chessboard with no easy way to instruct you to play chess.
The game is so deep in terms of little things to do that it makes Smash Bros melee look like a casual experience.
Honestly, doing a combo Breaker is punish/reward by itself but hey you can add a counterbreaker.

Iron Galaxy is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Killer Instinct by launching a new Anniversary Edition for Xbox and PC and an extensive patch several years after the latest update.
There isn't going to be any chance of this being played at tournaments unless it appears on all platforms like all fighting games.
SF5 didn’t appear on all consoles and was still played at Tournaments. I’ve seen KI tournaments recently so I don’t think your opinion is accurate.
A free-to-play fighting game? This was unheard of at the time, but Killer Instinct has proven it's not only doable, but enjoyable!
Another good review for another highly anticipated game for the Xbox One.
This game is shaping up real nicely. I can't wait to see the final product and to see it in Evo in the future.
It can't imagine them not having No Mercy's again. Seems silly to omit something that awesome.
