The Xbox fighter Killer Instinct is celebrating its 10th anniversary later this month and as part of this it will be hosting a special Twitch livestream on 22nd November.
During this developer stream, the team will be sharing "the latest news on the upcoming changes" to the game. This ties in with the previous announcement about the new update supporting Xbox Series X|S and a balance patch.
The anniversary update has apparently been in the works for some time now, with the update earlier this year in May all part of the preparation. You can learn more about what to expect in our previous post.
We'll be sure to provide an update about this event when it rolls round. Can you believe Killer Instinct is now 10 years old on Xbox? What would you like to see next for the series and this particular entry? Comment below.

Just in time for many fighting game fans to not be able to use their fighting joysticks thanks to new unlicensed peripheral policies!
I wonder if this mean KI will finally be playable on console in higher than potato resolution.
Edit: Since this comment did not seem to have enough nuance:
UI is still rendered at 720p with other assets such as backgrounds and models still being inferior to what you receive on the PC version. Frame drops, even on the Series X, I've personally tested on both of mine, drop to the high 40s when performing combos, especially ultra combos.
In fact the only thing the One X patch added was the higher output resulting and texture filtering. Which is decided less work put into it than other first party upgrades that were released.
It isn't blind hate. It is a matter of being part of the Xbox ecosystem for over 20 years, having two Series Xs, and getting tired of the sub par experiences that started with the Xbox One.
I am very excited for this!!!!!!
We need a new Killer Instinct game
@Tharsman I tried my Brook adapter and my fighting stick and it works perfectly before and after 12th November, so no problem.
Would love to get back on this again me and the Misses actually got up to the gold league in the ranked multiplayer Jago and the dead girl can't remember her name were my go to duo
@ChromeMud Updated my original comment since it apparently did not have enough nuance for you.
