Killer Instinct fans are already getting a taste of what Season Two will hold for them, thanks to the recent balance patch, but the next season of the fighter is officially set to get underway tomorrow. To offer up a taste of what's to come, new developer Iron Galaxy has issued a new trailer.

Season 2 will re-balance fighters and offer whole new mechanics, like the Air Combo Breaker. New characters TJ Combo and Maya are set to enter the arena tomorrow, along with six other characters set to arrive gradually over the coming months. The new trailer offers up some silhouette teases, showing some brand new faces and some distinct favorites like Riptor and Cinder that can be faintly made out.

Look for Season 2 to also revamp certain aspects of Killer Instinct, like the game's online rankings and 'Jail' system. For more on that, be sure to check out our interview with lead designer Adam Heart. The battle begins anew tomorrow, so check out the trailer.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
