|-|Classic=
The first installment, Killer Instinct, was developed by Rare and published by Midway on arcade systems in 1994, and was then ported to the SNES and Game Boy the following year. The plot revolved around the homonym tournament hosted by the evil megacorporation Ultratech to serve as a testing ground for their creations, putting them against the best fighters in the world, each with a reason to join the competition.
The year 1996 saw the release of Killer Instinct 2 on arcade systems, and later ported to Nintendo 64 under the name of Killer Instinct Gold. This time the survivors of the previous tournament are drifted to a distant past because of a time shift occurred when Eyedol was killed by the hands of Black Orchid. Joined by Tusk and Kim Wu - heroes of that era - the Killer Instinct fighters travel the world and fight each other, until one of them confronts Gargos, a demonic warlord who aims to control the entire world.
A comics series inspired by the first game was produced by Armada in 1996, but it is considered non-canon due to the many differences with the original material.

The series was resurrected in 2013, when the third game, called only Killer Instinct, was released. It was developed by Double Helix Games first and by Iron Galaxy then, and was published by Microsoft Studios an exclusive for Xbox One. It was initially meant to be a sequel to Killer Instinct 2, but overtime the plot and the setting have been greatly expanded, making the game an effective reboot.
Following roughly the same premises of the two games, old and new heroes and villains are brought to battle by a number of personal reasons, alliances, rivalries and much more, starting with the classic Killer Instinct tournament and ending with a great war between Earth and the forces of Gargos, now an extradimensional entity from the Astral Plane.
The story of the game is backed up by a number of biographies and novellas on the official website, as well as a comic series from Dynamite Enternainment published in 2017, which directly ties-in with the canon.
