Killer Instinct : un patch pour avoir Sabrewulf gratuitement

Double Helix Games profite de l'accalmie qui suit généralement les fêtes de fin d'année, pour peaufiner Killer Instinct sur Xbox One. Le studio a en effet mis en ligne un patch qui permet, en autres, de récupérer Sabrewulf gratuitement alors que Jago devient quant à lui payant. Puisque l'on parle de ce dernier, notons qu'il profite d'une toute nouvelle tenue classic, au même titre qu'Orchid. Estimée à 675 Mo, cette mise à jour introduit par ailleurs un rééquilibrage du gameplay ainsi que quelques retouches au niveau des différentes command lists. Le reste des modifications opérées par les développeurs se trouvent à cette adresse.
