It has been over a decade since we’ve seen a new installment in Rare’s killer fighting franchise. Since Microsoft owns the development studio, it is only a matter of time until we see Killer Instinct 3 make its debut on the Xbox. According to an interview with Rare’s Mark Betteridge, the game may soon become a reality, with a few extra surprises.
“It’s about timing, and it’s about the opportunity creatively and gameplay-wise that it would offer. Street Fighter IV looked great and they’ve done a great job, and I’m a big fan of those products, but with KI we want to do something different rather than go back into that arena. I think it’s about doing something different than with a conventional controller.”
Doing something different? No conventional controller? Natal support confirmed? Sounds like it to me.
