Most of the time “guest” characters don’t exactly fit into fighting games. They’re cool to see, and a lot of fun to play, but they never really “gel” with the main roster. Killer Instinct seems determined to buck that trend. With Rash from Battletoads already making his presence known in beta form, the developers are now bringing in a heavy hitter from Microsoft’s Halo franchise: Arbiter.
We got our first glimpse of the Arbiter at the tail end of the official Kim Wu trailer. This week, Iron Galaxy released the full, official Arbiter trailer showing just what he is bringing to the game. Judging by the gameplay shown in the trailer below, Arbiter should fit in just fine with the cast. The design team has done a fabulous job of working in things like the plasma sword and sticky grenades, ensuring that he keeps that Halo feel.
Hopefully the Arbiter will be a part of the launch roster when season 3 kicks off next month.
