Killer Instinct Season 3 Release Date, PC Specs Announced

Season 3 of free-to-play fighting game Killer Instinct will begin on March 29, Microsoft announced today. That is also the day the Xbox One game comes to PC through Windows 10.

In a blog post, Microsoft said pricing information and details about pre-purchase options will come "shortly."

Eight characters are coming to Killer Instinct with the Season 3 update, including Rash (Battletoads), Arbiter (Halo), Kim Wu, and Tusk, each of which will be available at launch on March 29. Four additional characters will be released at a later date, though there were not named in the announcement.
