[h=1]BringBackKI begins trending on Twitter after one of the game's biggest supporters on YouTube rallied fans to request a sequel. How likely are we to get it?[/h]Killer Instinct is a phenomenal, albeit overlooked fighting game from Iron Galaxy, Double Helix, and Microsoft. The game recently hit Xbox Game Pass for PC, giving users access to the full cadre of its unique and formidable fighters. Up until now, the game has been available as a free-to-play style game for Xbox and PC, with a rotating pool of free characters.
