EVO 2014 is not only an expert exhibition of the best fighting game competitors on the planet. It’s also an expo that offers fighting game fans a new look at some of the next releases they’ll be playing soon.
The Xbox One exclusive Killer Instinct is getting a 2nd season that’s packed with new characters, mechanics and other surprises. We’ve already seen T.J Combo’s return to the arena. Now we know who else is making their comeback to KI – Maya. She’s bringing back her daggers, plus she can make them stronger and even lose them during battle.
