Is Microsoft Teasing A Katana Wielding Character?

Earlier today, Microsoft tweeted a mysterious message that may be pointing to a brand new character coming to Killer Instinct. The tweet (which you can view here) makes mention of a new “Coalesced Guardian in the form of a Japanese Katana”. At first glance, it’s easy to assume that it’s referring to a new Guardian for use in Shadow Lords. But take a look at this  description here from the Guardians archives in Shadow Lords…

Take note of the final three sentences in particular. It refers to the Katana awaiting for its rightful owner. The Katana itself is implied to be a “living being”, just as Tusk’s sword, Warggram, is to him.

So who is the rightful owner then of this Katana? No one else in Killer Instinct wields that particular type of weapon, so we’ll likely be seeing another brand new character released in the future. A Samurai perhaps? We’ll have more info as becomes available, so stay tuned to KIC for the latest news and updates!
