Unfortunately, Microsoft has been rather quiet on the future of its popular fighting game series. Killer Instinct would eventually be revived as a free to play launch title for the Xbox One, and would go on to have 3+ seasons of updates over the course of multiple years and quickly becoming a fan favorite title. Originally beginning as a Nintendo IP for its SNES and then Nintendo 64 systems, Killer Instinct transfered rights to Microsoft once the corporation purchased developer Rare.
