Check out the Trailer:
“When we rebooted Killer Instinct in 2013 for the launch of the Xbox One, we knew Thunder needed to be more culturally representative, and the Nez Percés were our partners in making that happen. However, the rush of launching a game during a console release, plus the pressure of maintaining a nostalgic look that KI fans remembered, meant we weren’t able to get everything right.
Now, with three seasons under our belts and a community of fans that embraces our game for the chances we take, we knew it was time to make things right. It was time to take care of the Nez Percé community that took care of us.
On behalf of Xbox and the entire Killer Instinct team at Microsoft Studios and Iron Galaxy, I am pleased to announce that the Legend of Thunder costume is available, free, to all Killer Instinct players today. You must own the Thunder base character to access the costume – it’s the first time we’ve had a third costume for our characters, and it’s a special one.”
