Rise and Fall of Killer Instinct Franchise – A Game That Could Have Rivaled Mortal Kombat
The title may have you frowning because Mortal Kombat is one of those fighting games that will go down in history as one of the greatest. The Killer Instinct Franchise was not half as big as this giant in the fighting game genre, and neither did it come close to the likes of Street Fighter and Super Smash Bros. However, the Killer Instinct franchise is criminally underrated, and it certainly had the potential to rival these titans in the genre, and it could have been a platform-defining experience for Xbox. This free-to-play fighting game is regarded as one of the best Xbox games for a reason, and even though the launching was an uneventful affair, the game did impress the hardcore gamers around. The developers Double Helix and Iron Galaxy put in a lot of effort, and their hard work showed as the games improved considerably. There is a small, but dedicated fan base for this game, and in this video, we will take you through the franchise that could have been way more popular. We will also explore the possibilities of a modern reboot and how that might pan out, and so, if you a fan of gritty fighting games, stick around for this one!
