Characters cost $5 in F2P version of Killer Instinct

Microsoft announced its pricing structure for the upcoming Xbox One fighting game Killer Instinct, revealing that additional characters will be priced at $4.99 apiece.

Killer Instinct will be available as a free download for the Xbox One at the console's launch, and will include a single playable character. A $19.99 "Combo Breaker Pack" unlocks the game's full roster of eight characters, including two exclusive fighters that are not initially available for individual purchase.

Players can also opt for the $39.99 Ultra Edition, which bundles all playable characters, a collection of accessory and costume packs, and the original 1994 arcade version of Killer Instinct.

No, I'm pretty sure they will balance it like they did with Mortal Kombat.

Pufferfish They should have made more characters for launch.


They should have indeed, it is stupid and foolish to do this.


Well they want to make some money so that's why they didn't

I will be fine with the free game and character, I don't think that I really need to spend $5-$40. It is really cool that they are giving us this old game remade for free.

Dr-Ponyfile This DLC for one is over priced and I will not be buying it.


It is quite overpriced for what you get, it will most likely be dropped before the game is released.
