Other than a brief crossover with the mobile game Godzilla Battle Line a few years back, Kong hasn’t been given a recent video game adaptation. That changes this Fall with the announcement of developer IguanaBee and publisher GameMill Entertainment’s action adventure game Skull Island: Rise of Kong. The game is currently in development for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
In this third-person action-adventure game, you assume the role of Kong himself on a journey of vengeance as you fight to claim your rightful place as King of Skull Island. After the death of his parents at the hands of the saurian terror Gaw, Kong must traverse the mysterious island and uncover its secrets across a variety of treacherous environments, discovering the power coursing through its exotic flora and fauna. You must conquer waves of primal beasts, defeat bosses, and rise above all who stand in your way to become King.
As Kong, you’ll be unleashing devastating combos to dominate Gaw’s ferocious minions, as well as your rage to heighten the impact of your attacks. Send even the most gargantuan of enemies fleeing with your earth-shattering roar and brutal finishing attacks. Thoughout the game, you’ll also gain new abilities through special events and intense boss fights to unlock your full potential.
Along the way, you’ll explore mountainous terrain, jungles, swamps, skullite-filled caves and more to unearth collectibles, unlock new areas, and learn more about the mysterious history of this faraway land.
Skull Island: Rise of Kong will be available in two editions: the $39.99 standard edition, and a digital deluxe “Colossal Edition” for $49.99. The latter includes eight exclusive film grains featuring the ability to experience a red-tinted rage mode and the original look of the classic 1933 and 1970s-era King Kong films, the “Kong style pack” with eight different colors so you can choose your own Kong, a boss-rush mode allowing you to defeat all the titans of Skull Island, and a behind-the-scenes exclusive pack including looks at in-game artwork and the all-original orchestral soundtrack.
Meanwhile, you can check out Kong in his latest adventures in the Netflix animated series “Skull Island”.
