Gears of War Villain General RAAM Enters Killer Instinct

This hulking behemoth and his razor-edged knife are the latest piece of DLC content on the horizon for Season 3.

Yes COGS, Gears of War’s General RAAM has been confirmed alive, and sighted pursuing a mysterious organization known as Ultratech. While we don’t have much further information at this time, be advised we are monitoring the situation closely.

RAAM was speculated to be a guest character a long while back, and later confirmed to be headed for the Killer Instinct roster down the line. With this brief trailer from Microsoft’s E3 presentation, those whispers and hints are now a reality. While the short video clip doesn’t give away much, there are at least a few things that can be extracted:

One, he shrugs off projectiles like a champ, just like his Gears of War incarnation. Two, it looks likely that he’s bringing his knife to that pretty face of yours, command grab style.

It will be interesting to see just how many projectiles his armor can soak, because several characters — including the likes of Shadow Jago and Omen — can fire an awful lot of them. If General RAAM can walk through all of them, he could mean a significant change in Killer Instinct‘s meta when he arrives in game.

Name's Chance. I was born in June of 1993, have a moderate case of cerebral palsy, and have been both a writer and a gamer for the vast majority of my life. Seemed like a natural fit when I saw the link and blurb for GameSkinny in Google Search. So, here I am. I also create content on YouTube, and stream via Twitch. They can be found, repsectively, at http://youtube.com/doublevendetta and http://twitch.tv/doublevendetta. Outside of the gaming sphere, I also typically use the handle PalsyWriter. As far as my gaming interests go, I have an extremely large degree of nostalgia for my childhood, which basically means everywhere from Sega Genesis up to the GameCube, and in the last few years I've developed something of a penchant for fighting games. You name it, I play it: Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Injustice, BlazBlue, P4A, Dead or Alive, Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter, Naruto Clash of Ninja and Storm....basically everything. Except Tekken. I suck at Tekken.
