Rare “may do” a new Killer Instinct Game
In an interview with Eurogamer, Rare studio head Mark Betteridge said that they were still thinking of making a new Killer Instinct game, but that the idea would only happen with some sort of market “revolution”.
“Killer Instinct is an IP that is fondly remembered and we may do something with it,” Betteridge admitted, “but it’s a tricky market to be like the old Killer Instinct. Once a market gets like that then it needs a revolution to bring something new to it and to kick-start a new growth,” he said.
Back in the mid-90s, in an era in which the fighting game genre was dominated by the Street Fighters and Mortal Kombats, Killer Instinct was a surprisingly fun and great game, and one of my faves on the Super Nintendo.
Let’s hope Rare does do something new with the Killer Instinct IP, but they best make sure they stick with the same formula and not to stray too far from the game’s roots.
