PC Version Killer Instinct will be Windows 10 Only

PC Version Killer Instinct will be Windows 10 Only

We already knew that a version of Killer Instinct (S3) for PC was in the works. That it would be a Windows 10 only title, we didn't expect. It is a confirmed release in March 2016 on PC. It will be a Windows 10 exclusive. 

 So if you are still running Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1, you will have to upgrade to Windows 10 to play the game.

This news was revealed in an interview of the developers in a Twitch stream. Killer Instinct Season 3 creative director Adam Isgreen confirmed the following information regarding the release of the upcoming Season. Killer Instinct is cross-buy on PC and Xbox One so if you already own it on your Xbox One, you can also play the PC version at launch. Here is what has been confirmed so far for Killer Instict Season 3:

Rumors that have been confirmed

  • It will release in March 2016
  • It is Windows 10 exclusive
  • An updated Dojo Tutorial
  • Tusk and Kim Wu have been confirmed to appear at launch and both will have retro costumes
  • More characters will be available at launch than there were in the launch of Season 2. The remaining few will be available in the coming months.
  • Everyone on the roster will have tweaks to help balance the game to compensate for the new features and mechanics being introduced in Season 3

New information that has been confirmed

  • Two characters that are currently on the roster will be re-worked. That means their set ups and how they gain meter will be different. It is confirmed that these two characters are not Glacius, Aganos, or Shadow Jago.
  • Although Ultimates for every character isn't confirmed, it is possible for all the characters to receive Ultimates due to the tech they developed when they created ARIA.
  • They will reveal more information at Pax South in San Antonio, TX sometime between January 29-31
  • There will be more community bundles in Season 3 due to the success of the Shadow Jago Fund Raiser. The purpose of the Fund Raisers will be determined by the community on what they want to see in Season 3 that didn't make the cut by launch. So if you want to see a certain guest character, stage, mode, feature, ect. that didn't make the cut, make yourself heard. They are actively seeking out the community's input.

Things that where heavily implied BUT NOT CONFIRMED

  • A vampire character and other pop culture tropes will be introduced.
  • Appearances by Eyedol and Gargos
  • New accessories for all of the old characters
  • Multiple Guest Characters
  • DLC for costumes and accessories.

Windows 10 is a great modern system and I see absolutely 0 reasons for home users not to adopt it asap as the benefits are amazing. All the people whining about it either usually have very old hardware and/or are incapable of spending some time in order to tweak the system for their own use.
