Cybernetic she-dino Riptor was teased during the weekend with some artwork and a fact sheet which reminded us of the game manual character descriptions from old-school fighting games. And it's indeed that retro style used by Iron Galaxy Studios to fully introduce the new fighter with the official trailer below.

In the trailer, the modern version of Riptor shows of her repertoire, confirming she's keeping most of her old moves, but with a modern touch to go with it in the successful Xbox One brawler.

At the end of the clip, and as usual, there's a teaser for next character reveal. You may first think it's Gargos (Killer Instinct 2/Gold main antagonist), but if you pay attention... who is Herald of Gargos?

Gamespot has more details, dev words and screens on the 'modded' dinosaur. You'll get to watch new Riptor Killer Instinct gameplay soon at GRTV, as the character is available to download tomorrow for Ultra Edition owners.
