14 DAY TRIAL // Killer Instinct Xbox One developer Iron Galaxy has confirmed that Maya is the next classic character coming to the free-to-play fighting game during the Season 2 of DLC, while offering a bit of artwork and a few details about the famous fighter.
Killer Instinct titles delivered some great fighting experiences back in the 1990s, but for quite some time the franchise has been dormant.
However, with the release of the Xbox One, Microsoft tasked Double Helix with reimagining the fighting game as a free-to-play experience. After that developer was purchased by Amazon, it was Iron Galaxy that had to deal with shepherding the game into its second season of DLC.
Now, via NeoGAF, it's been revealed that Maya is the next character coming to Killer Instinct.
According to a short presentation, the new fighter is a monster hunter and was designed to be a Latina woman with Incan influences.
She uses her daggers in combat, called Temperance and Vengeance, and can even throw them at opponents and get them back via a boomerang system. However, she can lose them, so this tactic is a high-risk-and-high-reward situation.
Maya will also come with a themed stage called City of Dawn, and you can expect to hear more soon enough.
Until then, check out the artwork above.
