DoA gives you four free fighters to start: series mainstays Ryu, Hayate, Kasumi, and Ayane. On top of that, alternate costumes are available for purchase.ĭead of Alive Ultimate: Core Fighters hasn't been released yet, but is also exclusive to PlayStation 3. The other 10 characters unlock as you reach specific tiers of gift points, so it's just a waiting game to increase the roster. You can either wait for those coins to pop back up, or buy more coins for arcade, online, and ranked matches. The game offers up eight fighters from the get-go, but actually playing the game costs coins that replenish at a set rate. Tekken Revolution is the first out of the gate and was released exclusively for PlayStation 3 in June. Both games use completely different versions of microtransactions for gameplay and characters.

Tekken Revolution and Dead or Alive Ultimate: Core Fighters are two other fighters trying out the business model. Killer Instinct isn't the first fighting game to go free-to-play. Microtransactions that are too high can ruin a game that's actually pretty good. The "free-to-play" set off warning flags in my head because free-to-play is fickle beast. One of my favorite fighting games was making a return, but it was coming back as a free-to-play title under the development arm of Double Helix. Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email Microsoft announced the new Killer Instinct, I was a bit surprised and a bit floored.
