KillerInstinct Season2 New Character Omen Reveal

Omen, Herald of Gargos, will be joining Killer Instinct Season 2’s roster soon. The new character was revealed on the game’s official forums, and will be a bonus character only available to Killer Instinct Season 2 pack owners.

Omen will not be featured in his own story, but Microsoft Studios creative director Adam Isgreen explains the character has absorbed enough power through Shadow Jago to break away as his own character in Season 2. His move sets will resemble both Jago and Shadow Jago. Check out the teaser image of the character below.

Iron Galaxy is introducing the bonus character now due to its development being “less-intensive,” allowing the studio more time to complete the remaining four characters. The post identifies the next four characters as Cinder, ARIA, Golem and Ghost.

Ancient Babylonian sorcerer Kan-Ra and cybernetically enhanced velociraptor Riptor were the last two Killer Instinct Season 2 characters released.
The studio will live stream Omen in action next week, and release a full character trailer the following week.
