Microsoft to Announce New Killer Instinct Developer Soon

Yesterday, Amazon announced that it's purchasing development studio Double Helix, the team behind the recently released Xbox One exclusive Killer Instinct.

Microsoft has since responded, assuring gamers that it has a new "development partner" lined up to take over the franchise. "We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Double Helix and wish them success in their next endeavor," a company rep told Polygon. 

"We want all of our loyal fans to know that the Killer Instinct team at Microsoft is not changing and that the franchise will remain with Microsoft Studios. We remain dedicated to delivering a great experience and plan to announce our new development partner soon. We're excited about the future of this popular franchise."

Who do you think would be a great fit to take over Microsoft's fighting franchise?
