There are plenty of fighting fans who would love to see Killer Instinct get a revival in the Xbox Series X generation, as the Xbox One version has become pretty much left alone over the past few years.
As a result, a group of Twitch streamers have come together to host a 32-person tournament on Monday, February 1st - led by the popular Maximilian Dood - in an attempt to "bring back Killer instinct...again!"
Killer Instinct was most recently brought back for the launch of the Xbox One in 2013, and received three seasons of content over the next few years, but we haven't really heard anything about it since.
If you want to check out the tournament, it'll be watchable on Maximilian Dood's Twitch channel at 4PM PT on Feb 1st.

About time we got more KI tournaments to watch!
Looking forward to this
Great game! Definitely needs more love
Cannot wait for this!
Max has been doing good things for fighting games for a long time. Good to see KI getting sometime in the sun.
Definitely needs a revival for next-gen.
Just seemed to be forgotten by MS...
It wouldn't have went anywhere if Microsoft had acusallt supported a d fostered growth of it. As ever the usual though they tossed it out there to flounder.
Still haven't played it but sounds like it's a good game. Is there story/campaign mode at all?
Dear Fraser,
Just wanted to inform you that KI has never left or gone anywhere. We've had countless of online tournaments since quarantine started, with Evo 2020 Online being cancelled, one in particular have taken the load of hosting the largest KI tournament of 2020, called KI United.
In fact, the Killer Instinct World Cup was recently announced for 2021 with a gang of online sanctioned tournaments with top 16 finishes earning points throughout the season leading up to the KIWC Championships. More information on KIWC and the KI community (that has never left and been the ONLY game since launch to have avid players still playing online and finding ranked matches within seconds) Follow @quakeviking and myself @usmc_rotendo for your KI fix and information on all things Killer Instinct.
