Following last week's detail-ridden demonstration of Killer Instinct's mighty war golem Aganos, Iron Galaxy has now taken the next step by releasing a new trailer. Along with showing more of the warrior's backstory and heavy arsenal, the trailer also comes with official dates for the big bruiser's debut.

The trailer goes further into Aganos' eternal rivlary with the sinister mummy Kan-Ra. The golem can then be seen dishing out brutal punishment to KI's best fighters, displaying his wall-creation mechanics along the way.

And as has been the case for much of Killer Instinct's life cycle, the trailer ended with an all-too-brief glimpse at the next mysterious fighter reveal. It's an undead demon woman in a kimono, dragging along a wooden plank and wielding a huge knife. Just as the camera pans in on her face, she reaches out with her unhinged jaw, looking like something out of The Ring. Clearly, expect to hear more about this unknown combatant in the coming weeks.

Along with Aganos, Killer Instinct is also set to receive the 2.4 update, which will include some significant changes to the XP system. Those details can be found on the Killer Instinct forums. Aganos arrives on February 27 for Ultra Edition owners of the game. Those that own the Combo Breaker Edition of KI can pick him up on March 5.
