Every year, Evo manages to cram at least one unexpected announcement that leaves both in-person attendees and viewers at home in utter disbelief. Killer Instinct receiving a significant update in the year of our Daisuke 2023 is what has everyone in silence this time. The Killer Instinct team shared a trailer with participants in the 10-Year Invitational for the game in 2013, and then James Goddard, Xbox’s head of Killer Instinct, made a surprise announcement.

As Goddard revealed that Iron Galaxy is returning to KI and working on a sizable new update for the fall as part of that 10th-anniversary celebration, what had initially started as a standard thank you from all the developers and his team at Xbox quickly turned into something special.

Killer Instinct is still alive and will get a huge surprise at Evo 2023 for its 10th anniversary:

“It’s unbelievable what I just saw [on stage] 10 years later,” Goddard said. “We shot to launch KI Season One [with] eight characters. We thought it was going to be cool and amazing. Who would have thought [we would see] 29 characters, 10 years, four incredible players, and two Evo Champions? You guys made this happen.”

As far as we know, this update won’t add any new characters or entirely original content, but the development team is working to enhance the matchmaking services in the game to make matches and tournaments run more smoothly for years to come. In addition, Xbox Series X/S consoles will be supported in 4K. A full balance patch’s most intriguing feature?

Since the last patch for Killer Instinct: Definitive Edition was released in August 2017, players should finally have access to a brand-new meta to play with. Fans are already giddy with anticipation, even though no specifics about what will be included in this update were disclosed.

On Twitter, Evo general manager Rick “TheHadou” Thiher stated simply, “Play Ki. Forever,” about the announcement. We can anticipate learning more information about the update in the near future, as Maximillian Dood hinted at Evo 2023.
