Microsoft has released a new Killer Instinct trailer showing off Omen, Herald of Gargos, the fifth character joining Season 2 of the fighting game. The trailer also ends with a tease for the next fighter that will join the game, Golem.

We don't know much about Golem at this point other than that he's apparently huge, as you can see when he busts through the wall and into the trailer around the 1:45 mark. Microsoft's schedule for revealing characters has been pretty steady, so you can expect to learn more about Golem in the next few weeks.

Omen, which we've already seen before, will be available for free to Ultra Edition owners on January 30, and to Combo Breaker Edition owners on February 5.

Omen will be a bonus character, meaning he's not one of the eight characters you'd normally get with the season. At the moment, he's only available to those who bought the Season 2 pack, and Microsoft said it has no plans to sell him individually.

Killer Instinct shipped on the same day as the Xbox One launch, with Jago available to play for free. Players could unlock other characters and items by paying a fee.

Killer Instinct developer Double Helix was acquired by Amazon last year, casting doubt on continued support for the Xbox One fighter. Microsoft claimed the game would not be affected and said that the franchise, which it owns, would continue on.
