I believe he was referring to Killer Instinct on Switch, not the potential sequel.

[Maximilian Dood] Bring Back Killer Instinct #BringBackKI
- Thread starter Kalentan
- Start date
Killer Instinct 2013 - A very special game. Like many, the only reason I bought an Xbox One
(Bought an OG Xbox One in the US and brought it back to my country where the console wasn't released yet - just to play KI!)
Love the game to bits and always make a point to share it with those interested in fighting games.
Even though I feel the quality started to dip in Season 3 I'm very much onboard for a new entry provided Microsoft Studios gives it a decent budget.
And yes, I will def buy the next Xbox as soon as there is a new KI

The dojo in KI was fantastic. While I didn't stick with it, kept telling myself I'd come back when character specific dojos were added, that mode did a great job in finally making me understand some 2D fighter fundamentals. Game was very fun to watch because of that knowledge as well.
Damn Benny just mashing out combos!
Loved KI and I really need to play more of it. I'd love a sequel.
Seeing all the KI love makes me really happy, it really deserves it.
I only got into it when the Steam version came out, the low number of players and the fact that there's no ranked crossplay really soured that version.
I'm going to buy the MS store version tonight and play some more matches with that god tier soundtrack.

I will say it over and over again. KI is the best fighting game Ive ever played. Its such a special game for so many reason, and I miss the community, and devs who were just fantastic. I think a KI sequel makes perfect sense for Xbox Scarlett.
Is this the Win10 version?
It's a complete mess on my end right now. All characters still locked was one thing, but now I'm stuck on a "Syncing to Ultratech Servers - Checking downloadable content and syncing shadows" screen. The disheartening thing is that both these issues seem to have been happening for years now, based on what I'm finding online.

It is the Win 10 version. I downloaded the game played a bit, then bought the Definitive version at which point another download started up. I let that finish and then loaded up and everything seemed good.
Who are you talking about, I didn't state anyone in particular. I'm talking about the trend of 'requests' in the thread.
I'm talking about Max. He stated it in his post and video, so I assume people are following on from that.
KI was the best XBO launch game. And it received great support until they added the freemium feeling shadow wars aspect. I fucking hate consumables to offset CPU difficulty.
Bring back the normal single player stuff.
Multiplayer was fine. Music was amazing.

I went nuts when KI was announced, I loved the originals so much back when I was a kid. KI on Xbox is amazing and I poured hours into it. Haven't played it in a while but might jump back in. I would love a new KI at launch for Scarlett.
Happy to see the love the game is getting on here, well deserved.

My favorite launch game for Xbox One and favorite fighting game of this gen. It deserves a sequel on the next gen and PC!
Well done Maximilian!
Ultra Combo!

Ill be on tonight to support this. I wasn't really int fighting games before KI (outside of a superficial level), but damn did KI get me interested and while other fighting games have been interesting nothing has quite scratched the itch in the same way KI did/does.
People are referring to the current KI being ported to Switch, not the potential next gen sequel on Scarlet/PC.
Get Winstead, Kiets, Heart and ol' Klobbs on board and you have my sword. I'd love to to see a sequel or an upgraded expansion on the next Xbox, but more so I feel like they need real support behind it from MS. Also, yeah as a Switch fan I'd love to see that happen too. Crossplay would be a must.
I loved it so much that I bought it on xbox AND steam, give me more KI (and a proper story mode!)
I loved KI on XOne.
Loved it.
I felt it got a little too diluted by season 3 though with some of the Microsoft characters like the Arbiter and Raam though.
But my God, every fighting game should be be as easy to pick up as Killer Instinct and yet just as deep. The tutorial has yet to be topped and just the ease of comboing really made picking up any character easy. My one complainint about Street Fighter is that you can't just pick up a character due to not knowing what combos into what...
THAT SAID...

I don't want Microsoft doing another Killer Instinct if that means Street Fighter VI is going to be locked to Sony's platform.

KI was the reason I bought an Xbox One on launch day, and since then the game evolved dramatically. Character roster, the visuals, the amazing soundtrack. This probably will end up being my most played game of this gen when it is all said and done. I get the feeling that MS is already working on a new one for next generation given how well it did, even on a limited budget compared to other fighting games. I'm crossing my fingers that it is a launch title with a lot more resources poured into it than last time. It absolutely deserves it.
Definitely going to do my part and RT this as well as post my own tweets at Phil and the Xbox crew. KI is very special and should be held in the same regard as Gears and Halo for Xbox.
I bought this game when it was published on Steam. What a nice surprise this game is! At first I found a little dumb that now you can do combos with any button, and combo breakers are only pressing two buttons... but actually those two changes made the game better!!!! The new counter breaker and the combo breaker to Shadow moves is something fantastic!!! The first characters are a little meh, but as they were adding more characters, they were getting more interesting. I thought it was another "do your longest combo to win" but actually it has a lot of strategy.
My only gripe is that it doesn't allow playstation controllers on PC. There was a trick, you changed the controller type on the steam big screen options, but after a patch, it doesn't allow it anymore, even with the trick. Or at least it doesn't work for me.

I always think that it is really sad that double helix went from this and strider to developing for amazon.
That would only be a thing if IG were developing it. It might be someone else for all we know.
A new Killer Instinct would be a good title for Scarlet especially if Sony still has a deal with Capcom for Street Fighter.
User Warned: Platform Warring
Honestly there is no point of another Killer Instinct if MS will be a joke platform for fighting games next gen as well.
From the best version for evo during the X360 days with all fighting games on it to...
720p Tekken 7 on the most powerful console and many Japanese fighting games skipping it.
Might as well sell Killer Instinct to Sony.

I mean IG disregarded that notion?
KI soundtrack is undisputably the best of fighting fames this gen.
I havent played KI for about a year, but you have my Sword Max.

Gesundheit -_-
Another Killer Instinct should happen. This reasoning makes little sense.
I find it highly unlikely IG wouldn be completely unaware of another studio developing it.
I took it that they disregarded the notion that if KI sequel is in the works then it's being done by another studio since Max knows people at IG.
Going to be on tonight. Downloaded the game but was never able to put in the time to truly appreciate it (I'm a fighting games noob, I couldn't finish Street Fighter 4 in the easiest difficulty). Always followed the game though and loved watching it at EVO.
Really hoping IG are working on KI2 for next-gen.

lol that's super disingenuous. She's indeed a risk/reward character but she is very, very good. The "hard" part about her is managing her recoverable health.
Anyway, here's a walkthrough of the character I did when we were showing her off at PAX back in 2016. Should give you a very good idea of what the character is like.
