Iron Galaxy Announces Hisako, Shadows & Story for Killer Instinct at PAX East

Iron Galaxy have just finished their panel for Killer Instinct and announced some awesome new stuff including the reveal that the “Ghost Girl” character will be Hisako! Iron Galaxy confirmed that the Story Mode for Killer Instinct Season 2 is currently in the works and will include cinematics. The story mode will launch in June 2015.

The studio also announced a new Killer Instinct Season 2 mode called ‘Shadows’. This mode involves “Shadow Fighters” who is a version of you and your best gameplay uploaded for anyone to battle against online anytime (think of Drivatars from Forza Motorsport 5). This feature will launch in April 2015.

Killer Instinct’s newest character will be ‘Hisako’ for Season 2, and she features an additional meter called the ‘Wraith’ meter. In instinct mode, the meter is always full which means constant counter hits. She has unique auto-doubles which you can hold to change the timing to feel like manual hits. Hisako counter attacks both high and low and a command grab that contorts your opponent. The character will launch at the end of the month!
