<p><em>Killer Instinct&#8217;</em>s rolling up its sleeves for a third season in 2016 and it includes the wartiest stars of <em>Rare Replay</em>, namely a Battletoad with killer soccer cleats, if Rare Ltd.&#8217;s latest tweet is any indication.</p>
<p>Rash the now beefcake Battletoad&#8217;s making his fighting debut in <em>Killer Instinct: Season 3</em> as the studio announced on Twitter and Microsoft&#8217;s Gamescom conference today. The little guy&#8217;s apparently been working out some since his bygone 1991 arcade days. And he&#8217;s also available for download right now to boot.</p>

<p>The conference reportedly showed off none of Rash&#8217;s new move set, but a brief move reel purportedly showcased some of his classic arcade moves with his combos ballooning up his feet and fists. A wrecking ball and a hover bike reportedly accompany his special moves.</p>
