Players should expect at least three brand new characters and possibly a second guest character. If we assume Season 3 includes at least eight characters, that brings us up to four characters accounted for.
That alone should confirm to most that Gargos will eventually arrive, otherwise there would be no reason for a herald. During Season 2 Iron Galaxy released Omen, the Herald of Gargos. Rash, Tusk and Kim Wu aside, it’s likely we’ll see Gargos in some form. It’s for this reason why Tusk may arrive later in the season, similar to Cinder’s late release in Season 2. However, once Tusk is available, there won’t be any remaining legacy characters aside from the unconfirmed boss characters. Whether we see Eyedol and Gargos or not, boss characters are generally saved for the end of the season.
This only leaves Tusk from the classic characters. We know Rash and Kim Wu will be among the characters available at launch. We don’t know exactly what this means, but it’s safe to say we’ll see at least four to six characters available at the launch of Season 3. However, the reason we’re seeing such a long gap between the end of Season 2 and the beginning of Season 3 is because Iron Galaxy is making sure the Season 3 launch is significant. There was no avoiding the issue because of the developer change from Double Helix to Iron Galaxy. One of the biggest complaints concerning Season 2 was that it launched with only TJ Combo and Maya. In addition, Kim Wu was teased at the end of the Rash reveal trailer, indicating she’ll be the next character released. While we don’t yet know the order of release, Rash is virtually done and should be ready to go for launch. We also know Rash from Battletoads fame will be the first guest character to grace the franchise.
Tusk and Kim Wu have been confirmed several times over by the development team, so consider those two a lock. The only characters left from the original Killer Instinct games are Tusk and Kim Wu from Killer Instinct 2, and the boss characters Eyedol and Gargos.
