In addition to Halo's Arbiter and Rash from Battletoads, it looks like another character from a Microsoft game will come to Killer Instinct. Shoryuken has obtained some images from an in-development version of the Xbox One fighting game that reveals Gears of War enemy General RAAM will be added.

The report doesn't mention any of General RAAM's moves, but looking into his history some possibilities can be deduced. The character, who was a central bad guy in the first Gears of War, wields a serrated sword and pistol, as well as grenades.

RAAM will reportedly come to Killer Instinct for the game's third season.

Shoryuken also has discovered another character, Mira, will also be included during the season. She was referenced in Killer Instinct's story as Maya's late twin sister, who may have sacrificed herself to save her sister.

Eight characters are coming to Killer Instinct with the Season 3 update, including Rash, Arbiter, Kim Wu, and Tusk, each of which will be available at launch on March 29. Four additional characters will be released sometime later, and now it looks like RAAM and Mira might be two of them.

March 29 is also the date that Killer Instinct, an Xbox One launch title, arrives for PC via Windows 10.
