Sheet music to Killer Instinct 3 makes the internet roundsProof towards existence of the title?Ah, Killer Instinct 3. For years, fans have clamored for the title. With every mention of it, our hopes rise, only for Loveday to continually shoot them down. As mentioned in the past, it’s Rare’s unintended version of the boy who cried wolf. Teasing as recent as Rare’s Christmas card plus the tour of Rare earlier this year with “Death! Destruction! Doom!” has only fueled the desire. What you’re about to see might not help things any more.
Recently, MundoRare was contacted by someone at Microsoft (whose privacy will be protected) and sent us this.
As you can see at the very top, it’s labeled “Killer Instinct 3 -Main Title-” as it then goes into notes. Despite the first reaction in your heads being “Oh, here we go, Rare’s teasing us again”, there might be some form of legitimacy to this. A few months ago, EGM’s Quartermann reported rumblings of a Killer Instinct 3. Not only that, but Nick Burton slyly hinted on Rare’s future offerings possibly being both new and old IP.
Regardless, if the game is actually in development right now, what we’re going through at the moment is a hell of a pre-release promotion. MR will keep you updated as news breaks. In the meanwhile, musicians, why not play this yourself and confirm whether or not it actually sounds like KI, or if it’s music-speak for “You’re not ever getting this game?” Bonus points if you upload it on YouTube and you don’t sound crap.
