E3 2016: General RAAM Joins The ‘Killer Instinct’ Roster

Killer Instinct has been knocking it out of the park with its guest characters as of late. Rash from Battletoads was awesome enough as it is, and getting Arbiter from the Halo series was even more surprising. But now, it’s about time for the locust to jump into the tournament fighting scene in the form of General RAAM.

That’s right, the big bad of the original Gears of War is officially in Killer Instinct after months of rumors swirling like the Krill that surround him. Available immediately after his reveal for the low, low price of free, this hulking brute makes short work of Jago in his reveal trailer. The fact that he’s available so soon is probably a good thing, since the trailer shows next to nothing about his fighting style aside from the fact that he likes stabbing people with his giant knife like he famously did to Lieutenant Kim. Giving us the chance to find out for ourselves would be the best way to build the hype.

What do you think of RAAM’s inclusion,  who else would you like to see make the transition into the fighting game as we push through Season 3, and do you think he’ll still be weak to hopping back and forth over a box?
