A new Killer Instinct game based on Rare's classic has been hinted forever, themselves contributing to Killer Instinct 3 chit-chat this week.

Apparently, Microsoft Game Studios creative boss Ken Lobb is a fan of the series - the executive admitting he would "love" to see a new entry crafted.

"I love KI. We want to make KI. We aren't working on it today. Someday we will bring back KI," Lobb told Destructoid at X10.

Even if a Killer Instinct 3 isn't in the works, there's no doubt the opportunity for revamping the two original games on Live Arcade, of course.
