Killer Instinct Season 3 Composers Highlight the Creation of Arbiter’s Theme

Killer Instinct brings plenty of its own flair to the fighting genre, from an over-the-top cast that allows players to pit a massive stone golem against a dinosaur, to a complex combo system making each connected hit feel like it truly means something, to music that helps tie it all together. While character themes are an undeniably important part of every fighting game, few take advantage of the art form quite like Killer Instinct, thanks to the way these tracks can mesh with the combo system.

With the third season just a couple of weeks away, the folks behind the update’s music–celldweller and Atlas Plug–recently put together a video showing the process behind crafting one of their songs. Appropriately enough, they chose to show this through the upcoming guest character, Arbiter.

If you’re a fan of Killer Instinct’s music, or just like watching artists at work, be sure to check it out.

Killer Instinct Season 3 is scheduled to launch for Xbox One and PC on March 29.
