Earlier today, the Official Xbox Magazine reported that Double Helix Games’ upcoming Killer Instinct reboot will be missing an arcade mode at launch, a feature that has been widely present in fighting games since they arrived on consoles. While no explanation was given, Microsoft Studios designer Daniel Fornace promised that it would be released after the first eight characters are made available, the final two of which may appear in January and March of next year.

However, the Xbox One title will include another single-player distraction in the form of Survival, an endless gameplay mode that offers an increasing difficulty level, challenging players to see how far they can go.

More information on Killer Instinct’s Survival and Dojo modes can be found over on OXM.
