Killer Instinct Season 3 Is Getting A Substantial Graphics Overhaul

Video games look worse with time for the most part. It's just a byproduct of the form being so intrinsically tied to a tech industry that is ever moving. Interestingly though, more and more games are retroactively upgrading their graphics in small pockets, especially those that exist as a persistant platform that is built upon.

Killer Instinct is one of those such game. To go alongside the launch of Season 3 for the game, Iron Galaxy are updating the visual fidelity of the title too. In a blog post on the game's website Art Director, Chad Greene, explained:

In terms of visuals, we are adding new graphics technology; reflection tech for the stages; re-introducing screen space color adjustments that work with gameplay; adding an all-new dynamic lighting system that provides greater realism and interaction for the characters and stages. Not only will Season 3 feature this new lighting, but we've gone back and re-lit everything for Season 1 and 2 as well. We can't wait for our fans to see the enhancements of KI's visuals!

KI S1 had a "deep black" look that many fans really loved, and we've gone back to it (with a ton of upgrades!), so you'll see deeper darks and more "mood" throughout all the stages.

That's a pretty handsome update indeed!
