Kan-Ra is the third character to join the Killer Instinct Season 2 roster alongside TJ Combo and Maya, developer Iron Galaxy announced on its official forum.

As you can tell from his appearance, Kan-Ra has had quite a few rough years. As a royal vizier in ancient Babylon, his relentless drive for knowledge and power got him in trouble with his king. The king cursed him with endless torment, so his body rots away without ever dying.

You can help Kan-Ra vent his anger on Monday, November 24 if you own the Ultra Edition of Season 2 or Sunday, November 30 if you have the Combo Breaker add-on. Tomorrow (Friday), Iron Galaxy will release a trailer and host a livestream so you can see Kan-Ra in action before his release.

Iron Galaxy also detailed its ideal pattern for updates on new characters. Starting in January, players can “Expect each character’s name, concept art, story, and gameplay preview streams to appear before their launch, not right around it. We may show a character in stream before the trailer launches, even. We’re going to play it by ear and see what has the most impact, so each month may be a bit different in how things are released. Bottom line: More insight into KI’s development, earlier.”
