Season 3 of Killer Instinct will launch sometime during this spring, and we already knew Kim Wu and Tusk will be back to dish out some old fashioned beatings, plus we also knew that Gargos will join the battle and that the Battletoad, Rash, will be a guest character too.
But we were also aware that there'd be more than one guest character, after Microsoft's Shannon Loftis told us as much during Gamescom (and there was confirmation of this via a tweet by Microsoft creative director Adam Isgreen last autumn).
Now the next guest character to join the roster has been announced, and it's no other than Thel 'Vadamee, better known as... Arbiter. Master Chief's old friend, who we first met way back in Halo 2, will wield his plasma sword and kill off any competition.
This does indeed sound like a more interesting option than Master Chief and Marcus Fenix, both of whom were heavily mentioned in the speculation surrounding who might make an appearance in the episodic fighting series.
