According to Iron Galaxy, guest fighter The Arbiter will not be the same character from the Halo series nor will it be voiced by the character's voice actor.

Quote:
TV and film actor Keith David won’t be reprising his role as The Arbiter in Killer Instinct Season 3, but Frank O’Connor, development director for the Halo franchise, said that the team chose not to use David so that the character won’t seem out of place in Killer Instinct‘s world.

“[Keith] David of course, IS ‘The Arbiter’ from the Halo game universe for all intents and purposes, and will continue to be as long as he’ll have us,” said Frank. “But in Killer Instinct, we wanted to create multiple visual variations of the combatant archetype in the classic fighting game style, and so we leaned heavily on the ‘Hall of the Arbiters’ concept from the games, where we see armors and costumes from historical Arbiters in a kind of mausoleum. So our KI Arbiter is in some ways an amalgam of Arbiters past, as well as more modern Sangheili warriors. And further…, it helped to insert a subtle canonical buffer between their game and ours, so that players aren’t scratching their heads when the Covenant’s historical champion is fighting a Battletoad in Chicago.”
