Killer Instinct Punches Its Way To Retail With Bonus Fighter
Microsoft and Iron Galaxy's revival of the classic Killer Instinct fighting franchise was an early standout of the Xbox One lineup, now the game with being released on disc with a little extra.
Today, Microsoft announced that a retail version of the previously download-only game entitled Killer Instinct: Combo Breaker Pack will hit store shelves on September 23. It will retail for $19.99.
The game will include all the content and the eight fighters from Killer Instinct season one, and will also include a code for TJ Combo, a character from the upcoming season two. Season two of Killer Instinct will be released for Xbox One later this year.

Our Take:
Like many, I was surprised by how excellent the reboot of Killer Instinct was, and hopefully this will give gamers who missed it a chance to catch up before season two.
