Following last week's announcement from Twitch streamer Maximilian Dood that a Killer Instinct tournament would be taking place on the streaming platform, it appears to have been a resounding success as over 43,000 viewers tuned in.
The 32-player tournament saw numerous streamers joining Maximilian Dood in an effort to reinvigorate some life into the Killer Instinct community. According to the streamer, it surpassed the previous tournament by over 5,000 viewers, reaching a peak of over 43,000 during the grand finals.
News on Killer Instinct has been quiet for many years now, after launching alongside the Xbox One. It's great to see Maximilian Dood's efforts seemingly working judging by the viewer count. The entire five and half hour long stream is available to re-watch on his Twitch channel.

Being honest, I've preferred MK 11 and Dragonball Fighterz for my fix of the genre, but I do hold a special place in my heart for this series.
Even if it got a next-gen patch, maybe that could help raise more awareness for the game.
MK11 aside, KI is the only fighting game from last gen that I played regularly. Some of the best creativity I've ever seen in a fighter, and fresher than SFV, Tekken 29, and Soul Cal 72, etc.
This isn't my genre, but I'd still love to see KI get an update. Considering how recent SF got gated to PlayStation, this would be a good feather in the cap for Xbox I'd they revisited the franchise.
I adore this game. I feel like, mechanically, it's perfect. Audio is stellar too. I honestly don't know how they could top the game.
What it really needs is revamped character models, a more contemporary and dynamic menu, and a few more characters.
A Lovecraftian character would work. With regards to guest characters, Joanna Dark would fit, Perfect Dark is in the works afterall
Ccccccooooombo brreaaaakeeer!!
