Killer Instinct Season 2's Last Fighter Has Been Revealed
Killer Instinct Season 2 has been gathering a motley crew of pretty crazy characters, but just for one last time, let's add another on the list.
The final fighter has been revealed on the Killer Instinct forums as ARIA, the CEO Utlratech. Adam Isgreen, Microsoft Studios' creative director took to the board to give some details about the character.
Here is a picture, although Isgreen said that the design has changed a little.
He also added this synopsis about the character:
ARIA began life as a simulation of… life. Utilizing radically new processing technologies and other technological insight gleaned from a government incident in 1947, the Ultrafine Atomic Technologies Company (founded in 1948) performed research into the simulation of life and human frailty within a computational matrix. The core program ARIA was born of the desire to uplift the human race; to end disease, famine, poverty and push humanity out of what was seen as the primordial muck and mire it wallowed in. This work took on greater and greater meaning for its founder, industrialist Ryat Adams, as his wife was dying of a degenerative disease and he desperately sought a cure for her condition.
Over time, Ryat and the UATC continued to refine and enhance its ARIA humanity simulation program, assigning it more and more complex simulations of the human condition as its capabilities continued to grow and more tech from the government source was understood and exploited. Years passed, and when Ryat finally died, his will included instructions to continually allow ARIA to run her programming as she searched for the solutions to human frailties.
Who wouldn't make their life simulator the CEO of your company? That seems reasonable…
