Killer Instinct announced a fifth fighter joining the game during season 2, Omen, Herald of Gargos.

Omen will be a bonus character, meaning he’s not included with the eight characters you normally get with the season. Currently, he’s only available to those who have the Season 2 pack, and Microsoft has no plans to sell them individually.

“His moveset has some familiar normals from Jago, some new ones, and his specials are either all-new or ones that only the boss version of Shadow Jago used,” Microsoft Studios Creative Director Adam Isgreen said.

Isgreen added that we will learn more about the character next week, and we will probably get a better look at Omen next week with a trailer. For now, here are the highlights.

3 shadow stocks
Shadow-powered ability to cancel any action, turn into shadow, and move a short distance in any direction
Multi-hitting close-range kick special
Powerful projectile zoning with some radical projectile options
A special move that burns all 3 stocks.
Aerial movement options
Slide
