RELATED: 'Big' Xbox Announcements Rumored For This Week According to the latest rumors, all that attention may have ultimately paid off. In addition to the #BringBackKI hashtag that began trending across social media, he partnered with Twitch Rivals to hold a special Killer Instinct tournament with some of the biggest names to help raise awareness. In fact, earlier this year, fans led by content creator Maximilian "Maximilian Dood" Christiansen, who recently started another revival attempt for Marvel vs Capcom 2, attempted to bring attention back to the fighting game.

Unfortunately, Microsoft has been rather quiet on the future of its popular fighting game series.

Killer Instinct would eventually be revived as a free to play launch title for the Xbox One, and would go on to have 3+ seasons of updates over the course of multiple years and quickly becoming a fan favorite title. Originally beginning as a Nintendo IP for its SNES and then Nintendo 64 systems, Killer Instinct transfered rights to Microsoft once the corporation purchased developer Rare.
