The story of Killer Instinct takes place in a distant future where a powerful corporation called Ultratech hosts a fighting tournament. Many fighters answer the call to participate, including some experimental warriors created by Ultratech. The company uses technology to create bridges between alternate dimensions, releasing a creature named Eyedol, a two-headed ancient warrior imprisoned alongside his rival Gargos. Some fighters enter the tournament seeking glory or escape, while others aim to stop Ultratech's corruption.
