Maya is latest character to be confirmed for the ‘second season’ of Killer Instinct on Xbox One.
The Amazonian warrior has only appeared in one Killer Instinct game, the Killer Instinct 2 (1996), which was later released on N64 as Killer Instinct Gold.
With Maya the queen of Amazonia after banishing the evil dark lord Gargos, but when he returned Maya was cast out by her tribe and forced to vanquish him to regain her throne.
Maya’s moves include dagger throws, with her weapons able to level up as the match progresses. If her daggers are powered-up all the way, they will home in on opponents and become unblockable. However, there’s a risk-reward element to Maya’s weapons, as missing with these weapons can make her weaker. Along with Maya came a new stage called City of Dawn, set in Maya’s Incan homelands.
Iron Galaxy added that Season 2 will feature eight more characters, including some all-new ones. They’ll also add a new ladder system, which will revamp the game’s current multiplayer ranking system. New stage interactions, dubbed “Stage Ultras” are also being added to help give players new ways to finish their opponents.
