The world of gaming is set for another thrilling addition with the announcement of the new action-adventure game, Skull Island: Rise of Kong. Set to launch later this year, this highly-anticipated title promises an unparalleled gaming experience as you journey through this action-adventure experience.

Drawing from the rich lore of Skull Island developed by creator Joe DeVito and influenced by Merian C. Cooper's King Kong, Skull Island: Rise of Kong thrusts players into the heart of an epic journey of vengeance. Gamers will take on the role of the legendary Kong, battling their way to reclaim the crown as the King of Skull Island.

A Beast's Journey

The journey starts with a tragic backstory – the death of Kong’s parents at the fearsome claws of the ultimate alpha predator, Gaw. As Kong, players traverse the mysterious island, unlocking its secrets, and harnessing the powers hidden within its exotic flora and fauna. The path is fraught with waves of primal beasts and unique bosses that stand in Kong's way.
