Arbiter Joins the Cast of Killer Instinct

Unlike most fighting games, Iron Galaxy’s Killer Instinct reboot hasn’t been keeping itself sustained through periodic updates and expansions—rather, it’s been having ‘seasons’, each one intruding a new suite of balance changes, stages, and of course, new fighters. Given that this is a fighting game, and also given that it’s an Xbox One exclusive, it was only a matter of time before one of these new fighters came from a new universe, as crossovers and fighting games go together like peanut butter and chocolate.

And given that the only real Xbox exclusive series of note is Halo, it shouldn’t be a surprise this crossover will host a character from Microsoft’s hallmark Sci-Fi classic. It’s not as if we were going to get the random douche from Sunset Overdrive.

Well, brace yourselves for the actually surprising part: this new character WON’T be the Master Chief himself. Rather, it’s another badass you meet in your quest to save the galaxy. It’s…



The Arbiter!

I have to say, the trailer seems pretty lame, but he still looks like a fun fighter, and a great addition to the cast—always better than another ‘dude in armor’.

This space-faring badass will come round March 26th, along with his unique stage and a slew of other content, so get ready for that.
