Killer Instinct to be free-to-play

Only one character available, the rest will cost.
Mike Holmes 11 June 2013

Double Helix's newly announced brawler for Xbox One, Killer Instinct, which takes Rare's 1994 classic as its inspiration, is set to employ a free-to-play model when it's released on the next-gen console.

Players will be able to play as one character, Jago, but the others will require a little investment in order to access. How it will be priced remains to be clarified, but given the payment model, I imagine there'll be plenty of gamers willing to give it a bash when it launches in November.
