Xbox Console Exclusive Gets New Update 11 Years After It First Launched
01.03.2024 - 20:41 / gamerant.com / Dominik Bo / New Update
Xbox console exclusive Killer Instinct: Anniversary Edition has received another comprehensive update that introduces gameplay improvements, visual refinements, and a plethora of bug fixes, among other novelties. This patch arrives nearly 11 years following the original release of Killer Instinct.
The long-running fighting game series was originally created by Rare in 1994. Microsoft got hold of the IP following its 2002 acquisition of the British studio. But it took the company another decade to actually revive the franchise with the 2013 Killer Instinct reboot, which was developed by Double Helix Games, nowadays an Amazon subsidiary. Killer Instinct: Anniversary Edition was unveiled and launched a decade later, in November 2023, courtesy of Chicago-based Iron Galaxy Studios.
The definitive edition of the fighting game then received another patch in December, with Iron Galaxy now following up on that release with the debut of Killer Instinct: Anniversary Edition update 3.11.14. The latest version of the game introduces dozens of changes, including balancing fixes, stability improvements, and even some new graphics options. Specifically, Killer Instinct: Anniversary Edition now supports AMD's FSR 2 upscaling tech, with this addition arriving some 18 months after the open-source solution first became available to Xbox developers.
The 3.11.14 version of Killer Instinct: Anniversary Edition also addresses a peculiar bug that sometimes caused attacks to fire in the wrong direction because a character's stance would end up being mirrored. Furthermore, the patch tackles an unrelated issue that would sometimes cause Riptor's Flame Carpet to miss unexpectedly, with the remedy arriving in the form of adjusted character hitboxes. Another fix was introduced to Eagle, whose Sonic Screech VFX will no longer linger if the fighter performs his Killer Instinct Counter Combo Breaker during the animation.
The new patch also addresses some rare issues with dropped input that could occur when relaunching the game using the Xbox Series X/S Quick Resume feature. In terms of balancing, the biggest changes were bestowed upon Maya, whose knife normals—attacks perfomed by holding a direction and pressing a single button—now hit harder and faster. Iron Galaxy said this aspect of her moveset was always meant to be better than her kick normals in order to incentivize players to hang onto her blades.
The 3.11.14 update became available for download across PC and the last two generations of Xbox consoles on February 29, at 4pm ET. This includes the Xbox Game Pass version of Killer Instinct: Anniversary Edition, which has been available to Microsoft's subscribers from day one.
