On the 19th of February 2024, designer Kevin Baylis revealed a pitch he made for Killer Instinct 3 for the Nintendo 64. It was meant to be a prequel featuring younger versions of the characters, where players could hone the characters' moves, then gaining more before moving on to "the next chapters of their lives". The game didn't make past the concept phase because the people at Rare thought that "the fighting game ‘fad’ was over".

Ah now I see: https://www.vgfacts.com/game/killerinstinctgold/trivia-6108/

So Killer Instinct 3 was definitely a no show, and the 2013 game is certainly not that.

Not exactly. Killer Instinct Gold is just the N64 port of Killer Instinct 2. This pitch was after that.

I suppose that this Killer Instinct 3 is what ended up becoming Killer Instinct Gold.
