Featuring authentic metal axes and buckskin & beaded trousers, Thunder's new outfit available in the free Legend of Thunder Pack for Killer Instinct was created in partnership with the Nez Percé, ensuring that the fighter's third costume is "100% authentic to the Nez Percé warrior tradition."

"When we rebooted Killer Instinct in 2013 for the launch of the Xbox One, we knew Thunder needed to be more culturally representative, and the Nez Percés were our partners in making that happen," Killer Instinct's Senior Marketing Manager Nicole Fawcette writes on the Xbox Wire.

"However, the rush of launching a game during a console release, plus the pressure of maintaining a nostalgic look that KI fans remembered, meant we weren’t able to get everything right... Now, with three seasons under our belts and a community of fans that embraces our game for the chances we take, we knew it was time to make things right. It was time to take care of the Nez Percé community that took care of us."

The Legend of Thunder Pack is available for free to all Killer Instinct players now, providing you own the Thunder base character, of course. "It’s the first time we’ve had a third costume for our characters, and it’s a special one," Fawcette adds.

Killer Instinct Season 2: Ultra Edition will also be free for Xbox Live Gold subscribers on Xbox One as part of January's Games with Gold. Check out the rest of the line-up here.

  • Kilgore will be available in less than 2 weeks time (though I did play with him in the Shadows mode after doing a mission, it let me recruit him).
  • I really like the new look for thunder. I personally think he looks better. Hopefully the native Americans can agree.
  • i agree with #2 comment, this skins looks better (IMO) than the original skin from the game, even better than the original KI skin from 1995
