Killer Instinct Ultimates release next week as free download

Five characters at a time

We learned in early January that Killer Instinct was bringing back Ultimate finishers, but it was not detailed when they would release. That's changed today with the details being posted on KI Central.

There will be 15 Ultimates released, with the first set of five coming next week February 14th. They will be for Jago, Mayo, TJ Combo, Thunder and Tusk with the remaining ten being released in two sets of five. It will be a free download from the Xbox Store and functions similar to the original game. You'll need to be on your first bar of health in order to start the Ultimate. Once you trigger your Ultra combo, just hit LP+LK at the same time and this will start the Ultimate. Check out Jago's Ultimate below and let us know what you think.

Killer Instinct is out now via Play Anywhere on Xbox One and Windows 10
