Fulgore, Arcade Mode Go Live With Killer Instinct Update
Late last month Microsoft announced that Fulgore and an arcade mode would be coming to Killer Instinct in April. Today, you can grab the sizeable title update.
This 6.8 GB add-on includes the cyborg fighter Fulgure, eight-player lobbies, arcade mode, and the ability to spectate matches. This is the last batch of content created by Double Helix, which was recently purchased by Amazon to work on games for its new Fire TV device. DiveKick developer Iron Galaxy is taking over development duties from here out.

Our Take
With Killer Instinct employing a free-to-play economic model, Iron Galaxy will have to keep issuing regular content updates like this moving forward. Take too large of a break in between additions, and the community may migrate elsewhere.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
