5 Neglected Rare Franchises That Also Deserve a Comeback

Killer Instinct

Killer Instinct

Yes, Killer Instinct technically isn’t a dead series, but it’s at least currently a dormant one. The popular Microsoft-based reboot last updated in 2017, and released all the way back in 2013. While a revival for Rare’s fighting game franchise isn’t as sorely needed as some of its other properties, it’s a shame to see Killer Instinct left behind while other fighters are still standing strong.

Unlike other series, Killer Instinct wouldn’t need a full reboot or new beginning; a basic sequel would be perfect. Updated versions of classic characters like Jago, Eyedol, and Spinal, all with new tricks, alongside new faces and guests would be all the Killer Instinct fandom needs to flare right back to life.
