In the game, Ultratech is a very powerful megacorporation (entities which, in this future setting, have replaced all governments) which organizes a tournament called Killer Instinct. Along with regular participants, experimental creatures created by Ultratech also fight in the tournament so their strength can be tested. Ultratech also discovered a technology to make bridges between dimensions, and releases from this dimensional prison a two-headed monster called Eyedol, an ancient warrior that was locked away along with his rival, Gargos, who would become the enemy in Killer Instinct's sequel. | In the game, Ultratech is a very powerful megacorporation (entities which, in this future setting, have replaced all governments) which organizes a tournament called Killer Instinct.
