Because it hasn’t gotten new content/installments consistently like those other 2 franchises have. This new balance update they are doing is the first thing the game has had in like 6 years. It has all the potential in the world to be right up there with MK and SF imo. Hopefully a good chunk of people check out this new update and it prompts Xbox to green light a sequel
EVO is making it's main event roster purely on estimated entrance number, and KI can't make it. There's a good precedent with UNI making it from a side tournament into main lineup. Don't forget that outside of main games there are gazillion side events happening from Thursday to Saturday.
I’m a street fighter player, so I’m new to KI (definitely going to have a go with the new patch though) and being a player in one of the huge games, this Evo has highlighted a few things for me. Mainly KI and marvel 3, KI a game that just from the love of the community has made the devs take notice and update the game after more than 5 years. And marvel, a game that, let’s be honest I’d never getting an official update but through the modding community continues to be updated, and I’ve seen some of those mods and they’re crazy, basically entire new characters. The FGC is the best community in gaming, the love we have for these games is special, we still have people playing 3rd strike, CVS2, Xrd, KI, Marvel 2 etc etc etc. it’s the greatest
I think the issue with Marvel is always going to be licensing. I feel Capcom needs to make a versus game with only characters it owns so it can fully control it.
I really really really really reeeeeeally thought they were going to announce working on a new game....I even said while Watchung it right before Max showed up "I knew it!!" Disappointed but hey maybe a Season 4 with other newer characters with balance patches is good.....maybe there is still hope. Idk
@@navimajora19 I think we'll see another KI, but MS really dropped the ball here. KI love and engagement was really high, at its peak. And while fighting game are a bit niche, it's a large market with some of the most die-hard supporters. KI is a very unique fighter, with a dedicated fan base. A new installment would only make that grow. And with Game Pass, it would be perfect.
I think what made this so entertaining was not only the skill, of course, but the amount of character diversity. The grand finals alone displayed like 5 characters
@@Play4Vida No it wasn't, besides MS purchased Rare. They didn't take anything as Rare hasn't even worked on Killer Instinct since the 1996 sequel. Rare had completely abandoned the franchise and MS brought it back. KI 2013 is the absolute best version of the game/franchise (including post launch content made by Iron Galaxy)
@@atlien1988 no doofus, Rare was owned by Nintendo but Nintendo has little interest in violent games. How do you think Killer Instinct 64 come about? Please... And yes Microsoft ruined it, they purposely placed a Microsoft director for the game and although one of the original creators of KI was involved he ended up disappointed by the direction Microsoft planned for the game. Go watch his interview and see what he has to say... things were out of his hands... You're just talking out of your az, Even the shty Font in the game looks like something out of Microsoft Word 80's style...
@@Play4Vida dude you're hyping up a game that only two characters had a normal input for their charge/ windkick while everyone else had to charge theirs. Tf do you mean? And then every chick in ki2 was just Janet Jackson. Don't get me wrong, I love that my boi Jago was a monster there, but only wolf had a dash and Glacius lost his metallic t1000 look and got the weird ninja turtle feet. Cinder, Thunder n Riptor are missing what do you mean it was better? And the only place to play outside of the arcades that were dying was on a n64. What world are you living in?
@@michaelaccoustique7423 I bought the game on Steam a few years ago and wanted to play online but I could barely find a match. A shame since the game looks cool and I played the old KI way back in the day.
@@michaelaccoustique7423 A problem was that the game was released on XBOX in 2013 but it wasn't released on Steam until three years later! By then the hype was already gone so not many people were probably interested in buying it on pc. It's just very unfortunate.
I didn't watch too much of KI tourney's when it was still big, but this was pretty dope to watch. Glad Evo did this. I loved KI back in the day and this was pretty great.
Bro , to witness the 1st KI come out and losing all interest in gaming then to see this….. AWSOME , I used to recorded games on my VHS and watch them back. I love to see this 💯
1st time I ever seen this game was in Las Vegas Excalibur back in Early 90's. 25 Peeps surround the machine . It was so Epic to be part of the 90's Arcade scene ! Marvel Vs capcom2 had the same effect back in Early 2000's !
Eu olho pra KI e vejo que ele estava muito a frente do seu tempo. Gráficos, jogabilidade, mecânica. Coisas que Mk e SF começaram usar agora o jogo já executava com maestria!
Músicas Também e a Mecânica de sincronização de Beat da música com os Combos é magnífico pro seu tempo e praticamente nenhum outro jogo além de KI usa isso hoje em dia
Rare didn't develop the 2013 Xbox One game. Double Helix developed KI 2013 and Iron Galaxy worked on the game after Double Helix was acquired by Amazon.
The next Killer Instinct will be massive. Fighting games typically sees its player base dwindle, but KI released during a down period of the Xbox One generation. A sequel to expand on everything that worked well and fix the issues will be GREAT for the franchise moving forward. A think a full price release and dropping the game on Game Pass is significantly better than the previous F2P model. It fractured a player base that wasn't that large considering the circumstances mentioned above. Can't wait to see what Iron Galaxy does next.

It's amazing how excellent and satisfying this game is even today, Microsoft/Xbox intends to release a new update for it and I'm really looking forward to it
Tbh, it'll probably be another Guity Gear, Under Night and GBVS where the basics of the gameplay, characters, stages, soundtrack, colors and etc remain but we'll probably get new mechanics, two new characters, new story and a huge graphic update if we are getting a new KI game.
I go to Combo Breaker so I know how hype it can get. I can only imagine what it feels like at a venue as huge as Evo, though. Love watching KI and can’t wait to make my way to Evo one day!

Glad to see KI still receiving attention after all this time, what a great game.
Sadly it would've had more if it was on more platforms. I bought a XBox one purely for this game
@@isaacvampfulI did the exact same thing 😂
@@isaacvampfuljust got my series x to play. Hopefully a new one drops in the future
This game is ten years old and still has a 'killer' following behind it. Proves you don't need to release a new game all the time if it's good enough.
I was there in the crowd . the energy and love for KI was amazing
Ki has been starting riots and has been arrested 😉
Huge-ass crowd, must have been really amazing live
That's awesome bro! God blessings for you and your fam 🙏
Ok liar
All the hype and none of them play lol
For a fighting game that came out 10 years ago, KI still looks pretty damn good
i loved that it was basically the same as the first one on nes or whatever it came out on tooo

Why this game is not right up there with MK and Street Fighter is beyond me. It is so much fun to watch and the characters are so unique.

Because its not on playstaytion so it gets xbox tax
God I hope this update for KI means that there's still a glimmer of hope for another KI game to be made

I hope this means that there will be a "season 4" with NEW characters!!!! 🤞
Either way next generation update new matchmaking system and balance update return of the EVO tournament this is huge! A revival!

Always makes me happy to see some KI action!
KI so underrated
Agreed
On November 28th, 2023 Killer Instinct Anniversary Edition was released...💪🏾💯
I love KI is one of the greatest games ever
Man this was my jam as a kid on the arcade in the 90’s
Love this game.😁😊 I remember this one from so long ago... The combos and the sound effects were insane...❣💯
It's time for a new KI, Microsoft
Love to see Mortal Kombats forgotten rival getting some love

I haven't seen this game since the xbox one came out and now seeing that that was in 2013 im feeling old

Def was a thing in OH, love or hate it....
the legends still play KI damn i thought they stopped
KI is looking better through the years. 😎👌
Combo breaker 😮
It's amazing how excellent and satisfying this game is even today, Microsoft/Xbox intends to release a new update for it and I'm really looking forward to it
Microsoft needs to stop worrying about ABK and focus on what they already have
I really wanted to hear the game. The voice sold it even more.
Love KI it was nice they played with lots of characters, hope the working on a new one, i played this game soo much. General Raam was my main
Hollywood Sleep use to play Gargos. He should've used him in this exhibition
TJ a beast for 30 yrs...
Love seeing the classic characters in the grand final set. Spinal vs TJ, Spinal vs Sabrewulf 🔥
This game still looks good
Y'all should go live with this killer instinct tournament and show
nicky is still alive, we need a sequel of KI ASAP
Still looks good too
I can not wait to see what Microsoft does with this ip in the future to come uuiuuulllllllltttttttrrrrraaaaa combo 😊
Tbh, it'll probably be another Guity Gear, Under Night and GBVS where the basics of the gameplay, characters, stages, soundtrack, colors and etc remain but we'll probably get new mechanics, two new characters, new story and a huge graphic update if we are getting a new KI game.
As I spinal main for the entirety of the game since his release, I can confirm Omen v Spinal was a brutal match up.
I can’t wait to make the old head lolcow low tier god Dale Wilson cry in this game
When in the hell are the making a new KI
Beautiful end with 2 classic characters! 😁
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This was on steam or xbox?
Nicky givin me Tarantino vibes cuz he directin some massacres. Love that eyedol and rash play
not gonna lie KI was a game i grew up on but the hit box and recovery mechanics is wild
Had no idea Killer Instinct came out in 2013. Still play my SNES. Spinal looking hard to play as always.
Long live KI
That was enjoyable. Good exhibition.
They need to make Killer Instinct 4.

I used to love this game! The 100 hit combos i used to pull off
Crazy to think a 10 year old fighter still slaps this hard.
So happy to c KI making a comeback. KI and MK the best fighting games out
Tekken? Guilty gear? Shit even Blazblue?
Was Rick_roled there this year?
duuuude...YES
I go to Combo Breaker so I know how hype it can get. I can only imagine what it feels like at a venue as huge as Evo, though.
Love watching KI and can’t wait to make my way to Evo one day!
Baddies in the front.
Maybe now they will finally give everyone ultimates like they said they would. I’m so excited
Do the crowds can hear the commentators ?? Just a question I been so curious
Yeah, crowd can hear the announcers on the main stage
Ahhhh KI , I wish they would make another one 😢
