Omen Coming to Killer Instinct in January

Omen Coming to Killer Instinct in January

Ready for some more knuckle crackin’ combos by way of everyone’s favorite Xbox exclusive fighter? I know we sure are, which is why we’re super excited for this new DLC coming in January!

Recently announced via the game’s official forums , Microsoft Studios revealed that Omen, Herald of Gargos, will be available free to players this month. After possessing Jago, he’s described as having “…drawn enough power through his battles as Shadow Jago to manifest physically on the mortal plane. He is corruption, fear, and rage given form. He is the right hand of his master’s will. He is the sign of the darkness to come. He is shadow energy incarnate. He is Omen!”

Omen is considered a bonus character, thus he does not count towards the final total of eight for this season. Some of the moves found in his arsenal are as follows:

  • 3 shadow stocks!
  • Shadow-powered ability to cancel any action, turn into shadow, and move a short distance in any direction
  • Multi-hitting close-range kick special
  • Powerful projectile zoning with some radical projectile options
  • A special move that burns all 3 stocks!
  • Aerial movement options
  • Slide
