In terms of mechanics, the remaster of Killer Instinct 2 offers several solutions distinguishing it from the competition. A group of warriors known from the original game (supported by a few new characters) is fighting in the next edition of the tournament to win the right to face another, even more powerful opponent. The death of the main antagonist, Eyedolla, created a time portal and moved the Killer Instinct tournament participants two millennia ago, where they are forced to face Gargos, the newly freed demon ruler. The story of Killer Instinct 2 Classic starts right after the ending of the predecessor. Like Killer Instinct Classic released a year earlier, the game was made available only to those who purchased the Ultra version of the season pass for Killer Instinct's second season. The Xbox One rerelease of the game was developed by Code Mystics, a Canadian studio specializing in similar projects.

The original game had its premiere in 1996 on arcade machines and it was converted to Nintendo 64 console in the same year (as Killer Instinct Gold). Killer Instinct 2 Classic, developed by Rare, is a remasater of a classic fighting game available on Xbox One.
