More gaming icons headed to Killer Instinct?

Potential new characters hinted at in official Microsoft survey




Killer Instinct isn't shy about rounding out its roster with guest characters from some of Microsoft's most recognisable IPs. So far, Halo's Arbiter, Gears of War's General RAAM and Rash from rage-inducing retro classic Battletoads have all stepped into the arena.

Clearly, these newcomers have been a hit with gamers because it looks like Microsoft are thinking about adding a few more quest characters to its flagship fighting game.

A survey, currently being hosted on the KI site Ultra-Combo.com, invites gamers to rank a list of characters in the order they most want to see them appear in the game. In among some generic choices such as Wendigo, Djinn and (excitingly) Lovecraftian, a few more famous names jump out: Brute from Halo, the super-powered Agent from Crackdown, and, most interesting of all, Perfect Dark's Joanna Dark.

Clearly, it's an exciting time to be a Killer Instinct fan. The game, already into its third season, recently made the jump onto PC and is also expected to feature heavily at this year's Evo fighting game championships.
