Microsoft has announced that Killer Instinct‘s second season will begin on October 15. On that date, new fighters Maya and TJ Combo will go on sale for $4.99 each. Six more characters will follow at a rate of one new fighter per month. But a pair of package deals will also be available to get all eight characters (and other goodies) at a discounted rate.
The “Ultra Edition” will be priced at $39.99 and it’ll include:
- All eight Season 2 fighters
- Select fighter costumes and accessory packs
- Content Early Access to characters and customization items before anyone else
- Killer Instinct 2 Classic – A perfect port of the arcade game with full multiplayer support for intense fighting over Xbox Live
Microsoft will open up pre-orders for Killer Instinct: Season 2 beginning on September 23. Gamers who pre-buy the “Ultra Edition” will instantly be able to download TJ Combo and Killer Instinct 2 Classic.
Meanwhile, the “Combo Breaker” pack will be half the price ($19.99), but it’ll only include access to the eight fighters from Season 2. Still, it’s a pretty significant discount.
