Do you remember when you were a kid and you used a bunch of mismatched action figures to stage some kind of ultimate battle royale? It just dawned on me, but that is exactly what Microsoft and Iron Galaxy are doing with Killer Instinct. Long overshadowed by Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, the Killer Instinct reboot has taken the blender approach to new heights with the latest batch of characters.
Joining a roster of fighters that already includes a ninja, a werewolf, an ice monster, a Native American, a skeleton, a robot, and a boxer is a mummy known as Kan-Ra. Kan-Ra is available to download today for owners of Killer Instinct’s “Ultra Edition.” “Combo Breaker” edition owners and those who plan to purchase him as an individual download will have to wait until November 30.
As any good mummy would, Kan-Ra uses his bandages to attack his opponents as well as pummeling them with the mystical jars that hold his organs. You can see his full range of combat tricks in the trailer above… and keep your eyes peeled for a quick glimpse at December’s downloadable character: Riptor the dinosaur.
And don’t forget, Microsoft will make Cinder the fire monster a playable character in 2015.
