There's still a lot of love for the Killer Instinct series. Every time the 2013 game's website or social page gets updated, there are requests from fans for new fighters, more content, new seasons and even a new entry in Rare's long-running fighting series.
The latest update linked to this game took place on Twitter earlier today when the official Killer Instinct Twitter account announced it was working on a fix affecting matchmaking and was continuing to investigate the issue.
It's the first time the account has been active since the beginning of last month - when it was revealed the game's official website had received a minor update. Again, fans couldn't help themselves and started requesting a new entry.
The most significant update in recent times was last October, which made the game "fully backwards compatible" with Xbox Series X|S and since then there's been no additional support.
There was also a rumour earlier this year about how Microsoft was keen for a new Killer Instinct game, but no developer was available to work on it. A number of months later, Iron Galaxy said it would definitely consider returning to the series if given the opportunity and Xbox boss Phil Spencer has also recently shown interest in reviving Killer Instinct.
Think it's about time we got a new Killer Instinct game? Leave a comment down below.

Bring back KI.
So frustrating that MS is squandering all of its IPs and basically making us wait untold years between sequels in popular franchises.
None of us are getting any younger, lol. I mean, in the timespan between the last two Halo games, high school grads could complete 4 years of college and then gotten a 2-year masters degree. By the time another KI comes out, it'll be almost an entire decade between release dates at best.
MS has tons of money. It's super annoying to see them release one big game every few years while PlayStation drops big sequels multiple times per year.
It'll happen. Maybe not soon (certainly not soon) but it WILL happen.
I'm a massive fan of the series so cannot wait for when that announcement finally drops π
I agree,
Let the developers of Mortal kombat make it.

Hell no.
MK 11 was a great game, but a DLC scam.
Yeah Certainly We need More Killer Instinct, Please Please Please Microsoft & XBOX πππππππ
Microsoft not doing anything with the few good IPs it has. I still think it was a mistake selling Alan Wake and Sunset Overdrive. They could've made sequels for the xbox for both games. What about Banjo Kazooie? Killer Instinct? Look how successfully Sony is using its IPs GoW, Spiderman is now on its 3rd game in development despite the first one only coming out 3 years ago.
I agree but I don't think it's a good idea to push them so hard frequently. I'd rather Xbox not force a new game. We need the right studio with good ideas.
@stinkyx Don't forget Banjo-Kazooie and Viva PiΓ±ata, last seen on Xbox 360, Conker on Xbox...
