At E3 Microsoft announced that KI would be a free to play title with one playable character. Additional fighters could be purchased individually or as a bundle. Now we have pricing info on those bundles.
How much will Killer Instinct cost you? Depends on how you want to play, I guess. But $40 for the full-on pack insn't bad.
From the source:
“Killer Instinct” for Xbox One will be free to download with one free playable character available. Additional characters will be available for purchase starting at $4.99 / £3.99 / €4.99 each.
Players can also purchase special discounted character packages:
Combo Breaker Pack –– Save 50 percent instantly by purchasing the Combo Breaker pack, which includes the first 8 characters (6 at launch, plus 2 characters before their official post-launch release) for $19.99 / £16.99 / €19.99.
Ultra Edition – The Ultra Edition delivers the best value for “Killer Instinct” fans. Available for $39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99, the Ultra Edition includes:
- The first 8 characters (6 at launch, plus 2 characters before their official post-launch release)
- Character accessory packs
- Character costumes
- The original “Killer Instinct” arcade game
This still sounds like a nightmare for tournament organizers managing all the DLC characters that are sure to come, but at least the game isn't 60 bucks to start.
