Killer Instinct: pricing details will be revealed at GamesCom

As we already knew, Killer Instinct will come in the form of a free download with a single character, Jago, while we will have then the possibility to purchase the full game as a single package or buy individual characters separately depending on those that interest us the most. Ken Lobb of Microsoft Studios has now announced that the price of the full package and the individual elements will be announced at GamesCom, the German exhibition which will take place in Cologne from 20 to 25 August.

Ken Lobb also explained that Killer Instinct is not intended as a Free-2-Play real: free download with Jago is intended as a demo, after which players can choose whether to purchase the full game or just parts of it, depending on the experience you want to have. The "demo" version of the game will allow us to play against an AI-controlled character-imagine-but we also Sabrewulf use it online against all other players, even if they use characters who have not purchased; so for example, if we fight against Glacius and we particularly like, we will decide to purchase it individually.

It is unclear how that single downloads is a strategy designed mainly for casual gamers or those less fond of fighters, who might not want to spend the price of the full game but you will satisfy even have two or three different characters, while it is very likely that the hardcore gamers with the bullet for fighting will want to buy the complete package. Lobb then specified that, beyond the "full game" available at launch, it is possible that over time will be introduced more wrestlers to be downloaded separately, just as happens today in all the fighting.

Please see the next month for details on price and content that will be available for Killer Instinct , remembering that the title will come to the launch of the Xbox One.
