Killer Instinct and Death Stranding are two of the most searched games on Google this week. The former is a classic fighting video game, while the latter is a mysterious title from legendary game developer Hideo Kojima. Now, here's the latest about Death Stranding and Killer Instinct release date, gameplay and rumors on the web.

Let's start with news about the Killer Instinct. Microsoft recently announced that it would release a brand-new collection of Killer Instinct titles later this year. The collection is said to become available with $40 price tag.

In a release, Microsoft said all characters and contents from Seasons 1-3 is included in the new collection, which contains 26 characters and 20 stages. There are also guests fighters like Rash from Battletoads, Arbiter from Halo, and General RAAM from Gears of War. The 20 stages are said to have improved graphics and better animation.

Furthermore, the Definitive Edition comes with Killer Instinct Classic 1 & 2, which is an authentic recreation of the arcade originals. Also, there is a behind-the-scenes video that talks about the history, design and world of Killer Instinct franchise.

For gamers who will get Killer Instinct: Definitive Edition in stores, they will receive a bonus Original Soundtrack CD and Gold Gargos character skin.

Killer Instinct Definitive Edition will be released on Xbox One on September 20. The first entry in the series was launch in 2013 for Windows 10 and Xbox One.

On the other hand, during Develop:Brighton keynote in the UK , developer Hideo Kojima stated the Death Stranding will be his "best work so far." Gaming analysts say that is a bold statement from the man behind action game Metal Gear Solid series.

Many gamers were surprised when Kojima announced the development of Death Stranding at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). As of now, he is tight-lipped about the features and gameplay of the title. But some speculate the game would become available on VR platform.

The E3 trailer of Death Stranding features Norman Reedus with a newborn child on an abandoned beach. The trailer has an eerie and dark atmosphere.  

It is also interesting to see how Kojima will make Death Stranding more exciting than his last game, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which won multiple "Game of the year" awards.

Despite the huge amount of hype, we still don't what Death Stranding will be like. However, several tech websites claim it would be released early next year for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. For now, let's wait for more update from game developers.
