Kao the Kangaroo Reboot Announced Alongside Trailer
After a long hiatus, a new video game is coming, as developer Tate Multimedia has just announced a new entry. This new installment will release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC sometime this summer.
The games were a series of platformers that came out throughout the 2000s on various platforms. The series was most popular in Poland, but did see some success internationally. The series was revived in 2020 to commemorate its 20th anniversary, and this new game is the product of that revival.
“It’s really exciting to finally be able to say to people that, yes, we will be launching this summer,” said Tate Multimedia Head Kaja Borowko. “Throughout development, it’s been important to us to make sure Kao’s new adventure both feels like a tribute to his previous outings for existing fans, as well as a fresh, contemporary platformer for newcomers. This is not a sequel, this is a complete reboot, and we can’t wait to see players young and old come together to take on the role of Kao once more this summer.”
The new game will be similar to its predecessors, and will be a 3D platformer that looks to capture the feel of early platforming games like. In the game, players will take on the role of the titular Kao as they try to find his missing sister while also solving the mystery of what happened to his long-lost father. Kao also uses boxing gloves to punch and jab his way through enemies and, due to Kao being a kangaroo, his legs to leap from area to area.
