Demonic series villain Gargos is now available for Killer Instinct on Xbox One and Windows 10, developer Iron Galaxy has announced via its Ultra-Combo blog. Arriving alongside patch 3.1.5, Gargos’ trailer reveals his contemptuous and arrogant attitude towards the rest of the KI cast, as well as a preference for beating his opponents to a bloody pulp through the use of portals and hurling himself forward like a tornado of pure hatred. For a better idea of the character’s horrifying combat proficiency, see the trailer above.
In other news, patch 3.1.5 includes a huge number of balance changes to existing characters, as well as new features and big fixes.

System Changes:

Just two characters are left to be announced for Killer Instinct‘s third season. One is heavily rumored to be Gears Of War‘s General RAAM, but the last one remains a mystery. Could it be filled by Eyedol?
