Microsoft & Fox Come
to Terms Over KI Trademark
|

Earlier this week, Fox
and Microsoft signed a Trademark Coexistence Agreement regarding the name of the
iconic 1994 fighting game, Killer Instinct. This remedies the issue with
Fox's short-lived 2005 crime drama, which goes by the same name. This could lead
to a re-release of KI, a new game... or possibly, nothing?
