Aganos, the 8ft war golem, is now available to Killer Instinct Season 2 Ultra Edition owners, and will launch March 5 to Combo Breaker owners, Iron Galaxy and Microsoft have announced.

Joining the new character is the 2.4 game update, detailed below:

System Changes:

  • Opener-Ender situations are no longer capable of cashing out Potential Damage.  They can still be broken as usual, though. Nothing else about them has changed.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed characters to block during forward or backward dashes after landing from a neutral jump.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause a Shadow Opener to act as a Shadow Ender if the opponent was in a knockdown/getup state.
  • Counterbreakers are supposed to remove hitstop on your opponent and enforce a maximum number of hitstun frames to ensure they are punishable.  A bug was causing the grounded version of Counterbreaker to not remove hitstop, leading to a few safe Counterbreaker setups across the cast.  This is now fixed.

The update also brings tweaks to a host of existing characters, notably Sabrewulf, Spinal, Fulgore, TJ Combo, Maya, Kan Ra, Ripto and Omen.
