Killer Instinct's (sort of) getting a new character in December

The Fast🐻 and the Furious threw The Rock into the mix. Tommy " the Green Ranger" Oliver became the Tommy "the White Ranger" Oliver. Any entertainment franchise worth its salt needs to throw in a twist now and then to stay fresh. And so, as we approach Season 3 of Killer Instinct, a costume gets its very own moveset.

In a post on , the game's developers confirmed that Shadow Jago would be appಌearing as a fully-fledged character in December (no🐲 word on an exact date as yet, but the official word is "not too late"). We're not entirely sure on what that moveset will entail, but a livestream should be announced in the very near future.

It comes as part and parcel of the game's 2-year anniversary - another facet of which is the "It's A Celebration" challenge. It might look like a simple XP bump - you literally just have to finish a match in any mode - but it also acts as the entry condition for a competition to wiꦇn a bevy of KI swag (including some swanky fight sticks). Here are the full set of steps to POTENTIAL VICTORY:

• Unlock the ‘It’s a Celebration’ Challenge in Killer Instinct by simply completing a match in any game mode
• Take a screenshot of the completed Challenge (Xbox App, Xbox.com, SmartGlass or a photo…any way you choose) with your Gamertag in the picture
• Post the screenshot of your completed Challenge in our forums (thread link )
• Wait patiently

The Challenge only ru꧂ns until Thursday, and entry to the c🔯ompetition ends 5pm PST on Friday, so get going!
