The 'Halo' franchise's Arbiter is joining the Season 3 lineup of Microsoft-exclusive fighter 'Killer Instinct,' and the Halo YouTube channel is giving fans a first look at the characer's gameplay.

Arbiter's fighting style includes a flurry of the iconic 'Halo' energy sword, with the ability to mix it up with a grenade lob. The new gameplay video also shows more of what looks to be a 'Halo'-inspired stage, which includes a full-on firefight in the background.

Arbiter was teased for inclusion in 'Killer Instinct' at the end of January. Series standby Kim Wu was also announced at that time as a part of the third wave of characters.
