As a "gripping conclusion" to Season 3, Killer Instinct is finally getting a campaign mode called Shadow Lords, the replacement to the second season's mode Rivals. Shadow Lords arrives with the release of Killer Instinct: Definitive Edition.
This time, the fighters have to join forces to fight Gargos and his servants, Mimics and Omen, in order to save the world. Double Helix claim they are trying to innovate in the genre with a not-so-arcadey story mode.
After selecting a main character, you have to form a team of three, choosing other fighters from the roster, but some of them will refuse until they resolve their differences through specific missions. Every victory will give access to loot and new abilities that carry across multiple playthroughs.
Shadow Lords is already available to download for free. This new trailer shows how it works. Will you be playing the new mode?
