Over the past year, pretty much every major Killer Instinct tournament was building to something greater: the Killer Instinct World Cup. Organized by the folks at San Antonio’s Ultra Arcade, this circuit was crafted to give fans of the rebooted Xbox One fighter an event similar to Capcom Cup and the tour that precedes it, with all the prestige you would expect of such a tournament.
The bracket was originally capped at sixteen players, decided through immediate qualifiers at events like Evo 2015 and Combo Breaker as well as a ranking system for consistent placers, but yesterday the organizers announced they have expanded the event to include 32 competitors in total. And instead of a $10,000 prize pool, players will be competing for three times that amount thanks to the Killer Instinct Community Fund set up by Microsoft and Iron Galaxy Studios.
But that’s not all! This expansion has opened up four separate last-chance qualifiers to be held the day before the tournament. These brutal, single-elimination brackets will give folks who just missed out on qualifying through other means the chance to break into the finals, so be on the look out for some intense competition ahead of the main event.
Killer Instinct World Cup is scheduled for January 21-20 in San Antonio, Texas. For more details on what this event is bringing to the table, including hiring Combo Breaker’s Rick Thiher as production manager and additional support from “symphonic metal band” Heliosaga, check out the original announcement by following the link below.

Back in May, Team NINJA held a contest that gave Dead or Alive 5 Last Round fans to design Halloween-themed costumes for the game. Now, with All Hallows Eve just around the corner, the developers have dropped a brand new trailer highlighting the winning outfits.
These costumes will be available for purchase in Japan for ¥191 (~$1.59 USD) each for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and ¥200 (~$1.67 USD) for Xbox One. Meanwhile, the complete bundle will go for ¥2,667 (~$22.26 USD) and ¥3,000 (~$25.04 USD), respectively. Prices for the rest of the world have yet to be announced.
On a related note, Team NINJA have noted that this will be the last costume pack for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, following up on previous statements that downloadable content would eventually bypass older consoles due to hardware limitations.
