gamerant.com:

Kao the Kangaroo is the set to be the latest old school video game character to be given a new lease of life in recent years. Tate Multimedia plans to release a new Kao the Kangaroo title on May 27th, for which it has revealed a new trailer detailing the combat and enemies players will face in the game.

This franchise refresh was only announced fairly recently, as developer Tate Multimedia made the confirmation in January of this year. This combat trailer is the latest of several videos dropped on YouTube to give fans a glimpse at the game as the previous trailer revealed Kao's companions in Kao the Kangaroo. These staggered videos have given fans more of an idea as time goes on what they're in for when they experience Kao's latest adventure.

This new trailer is just over a minute-long, showing several enemy types that players will be tasked with fighting. The enemy design appears to be varied, differing from huge apes with sledgehammers to minuscule flying mutants. Alongside the character design, the trailer also shows off some combat gameplay. Although simple, Kao's move set looks effective, the basics are there, punch's and air attacks, along with what look to be special or elemental attacks mixed in too. These snippets of gameplay also show a variety of levels, which ties in nicely with one of the earlier trailers which showed off the environments that players will traverse in Kao the Kangaroo.
