After a brief appearance in the mobile game “Godzilla Battle Line” a few years ago, King Kong has been absent from recent video game adaptations. However, this fall, that changes with the exciting announcement of “Skull Island: Rise of Kong,” an action-adventure game developed by IguanaBee and published by GameMill Entertainment. The game is currently in development for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

In this thrilling third-person action adventure, players will step into the massive shoes of Kong himself, embarking on a journey of vengeance to reclaim his rightful place as the King of Skull Island. After the tragic loss of his parents at the hands of the fearsome saurian terror, Gaw, Kong must navigate the enigmatic island, unravel its mysteries across perilous terrains, and tap into the power emanating from its exotic flora and fauna. Players will battle hordes of primal beasts, take on formidable bosses, and overcome all obstacles to ascend to the throne as the true King.

As Kong, gamers will unleash devastating combos to dominate Gaw’s ferocious minions, harnessing their rage to amplify the impact of their attacks. With a thunderous roar and brutal finishing moves, even the mightiest adversaries will tremble in fear. Throughout the game, players will acquire new abilities through special events and intense boss fights, unlocking their full potential.

The journey through Skull Island will lead players to explore a diverse range of environments, from towering mountains and dense jungles to murky swamps and caverns filled with precious skullite. Along the way, players will discover collectibles, unlock new areas, and uncover the enigmatic history of this remote land.

“Skull Island: Rise of Kong” will be available in two editions: the standard edition for $39.99 and the digital deluxe “Colossal Edition” for $49.99. The latter includes eight exclusive film grains, offering the unique experience of a red-tinted rage mode and the original look of the classic 1933 and 1970s-era King Kong films. Additionally, the “Kong style pack” with eight different colors allows players to customize their Kong, while the boss-rush mode presents an opportunity to defeat all the formidable titans of Skull Island. Moreover, the behind-the-scenes exclusive pack grants access to in-game artwork and the all-original orchestral soundtrack.
