Riptor in Latest ‘Killer Instinct’ Trailer
While fighting game fans that own an Xbox One will be missing out on Street Fighter V, as it’s a console exclusive on PlayStation 4, there’s still a ton of support for the ever-growing Killer Instinct an Xbox One exclusive, but there are a handful of fighters that longtime fans of the series are still waiting on.
Fans of the ruthless and prehistoric Riptor are very close to getting their hands on the beloved dinosaur. Iron Galaxy Studios, the developer currently working on the second season of content for Killer Instinct, previously released artwork of the returning veteran which showcased a different look that made the fighter less of a human/raptor hybrid and more of a retooled raptor that’s been equipped to dismantle even the most skilled adversaries.
The shady corporation found within the game’s lore, Ultratech, is once again behind Riptor’s reemergence, but the company has taken the necessary precautions to ensure that this iteration of the once extinct predator won’t go haywire. As another military initiative that can stand proudly alongside the likes of Fulgore, Ultratech has some very devious plans underway to ensure that it remains ahead of the game – with the Cinder initiative standing as a lofty goal for further down the road.
Riptor will be arriving in Killer Instinct on December 17, 2014 for Ultra Season Pass owners and December 23, 2014 for everyone else.
