This is the second season of Killer Instinct under developer Iron Galaxy Studios and they clearly have a Season 4 planned. The survey reveals the Halo Brute,Crack down Agent, and Joanna Dark from Perfect Dark as possible additions. Eyedol, the two-headed cyclops boss from the first Killer Instinct, is also listed as a possibility.
Season 4 of Killer Instinct will give Iron Galaxy an opportunity to stretch the lore of the game out a little more. Some characters listed as potential new additions have only been seen in the extended universe of comics for the fighter. This includes Eagle, Thunder’s younger brother, whose story is tied to both Thunder and Fulgore in the current reboot.
One of the big Xbox releases heading our way in May 2024 is the long-awaited Hypercharge Unboxed, which is finally bringing its "first and third-person shooter action figure game" to Xbox consoles on Friday, May 31st.
Sadly, ahead of launch, the game's official Twitter (or "X") account has been highlighting the "trolls" who are claiming that because it's not launching on Game Pass, Hypercharge Unboxed is already set up for failure on Xbox.
Just because our indie game isn't on game pass, doesn't mean it's "dead on arrival".

We hope you still give our action figure game a try. 💚 #xbox pic.twitter.com/3D8dhlWOvZ
It's horrible what people will say, but the truth might be harsh. There is a good chance it might not do well on Xbox if it's not on GamePass. There is a strong possibility that is the case. We'll see.
When it launches on Playstation in the future you can rest assured it will sell much better. The devs have confirmed it's coming to Playstation in the future.
"It is built in the Unreal Engine 4. The game was released on the Nintendo eShop on January 31, 2020 and on Steam on April 27, 2020. The development of Hypercharge: Unboxed for the Xbox platform was officially announced on July 16, 2022, with the developers also confirming future support for the PlayStation."
I remember having this on my radar years ago for the Switch but never pulled the trigger on it. Crazy it's still not on PlayStation yet.
Unfortunately once people are conditioned to expect to get something as part of a subscription they already pay for, they are unlikely to buy it a la carte. Some games, including this one, now look like "Gamepass Games" to a huge chunk of the Xbox audience. Maybe this game will buck that trend, and I wish them luck, but I'd imagine they'll have a rough go trying to sell this game on Xbox.
Hopefully their game not selling on Xbox doesn't stop them from bringing it to ps. I can't imagine why a developer would go Xbox first if their not on gamepass. Good luck to them though.
Yeah I can't figure that out either. I mean I understand why you go there first if you get a Gamepass payday, but if you are just trying to sell copies it doesn't make sense. Fewer users overall, and a smaller percentage of those users are willing to buy indie games a la carte.
Epic Games is facing a $1.2 million fine by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets over "unfair practices" in the Fortnite shop.
It might be cheaper to simply pay the fine. Fighting said fine could cost millions due to court and lawyer fees. Fortnite generates well over a 100 million in each month, so Epic has plenty of cash.
But if they did pay it, then they are basically admitting that they did something they weren’t supposed to be doing. If they fight it, they may win and continue to have a sense of urgency for their micro transactions thus making more money long term.
Meaning more suits to follow from others if they don't fight as well.
Not a fan of Epic nor fortnite and their micro transactions. But the game is heavily supported and is free to play, all store items are completely cosmetic.
I'd fight back too. These are kinda meaningless reasons to fine someone like really for THAT. It's like they just wanted to make money or something.
Nexon has released its financial statement for 2024's first quarter, and it looks like FPS The Finals isn't proving the hit the studio was hoping for.
The market for games like this is too over saturated to make a dent in other established games' player counts. Trying to start all over with a whole new multiplayer meta and grinding to get better is not feasible when there's already a ton of similar games that have come out before it.
The best fighting game of this generation just keeps on getting better. This is the MS version of Smash Bros. MS and Iron Galaxy did an amazing job so far. Looking forward to Season 4. Gamescom announcement?
No more Halo characters, 1 is enough. Kameo and Joanna Dark are okay though if they insist on more RARE guests.
'Halo Brute' should be Tartarus. Crackdown Agent (The African American one seen in most promotional pieces for Crackdown),could be a good guest character to promote the release of Crackdown 3. Joanna Dark fits in better than most other Iconic Rare characters; Conker, Banjo & Kazooie and Kameo, would be harder to implement into the game. Both Conker and Banjo are very small (less than 4 ft) and Kameo's transformations, while possible would be tough to balance. Also I think MS should try adding Joanna Dark and The agent as guest characters in Gears 4 mp.
Can't wait for season 4, the roster for this game is crazy
I love the idea of MS characters coming into play. It's funny because years ago all anyone could talk about when Kratos hit PS3's MK version was how Xbox had no characters to include other than Master Chief. And of course they were wrong.
