King Kong is Getting Yet Another Video Game

Highlights

  • Kong: Survivor Instinct is set to be a new 2.5D action-adventure game set in the Monsterverse universe.
  • The game will follow a father searching for his daughter in a devastated city after Godzilla vs. Kong.
  • Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Kong: Survivor Instinct, showing excitement for new Monsterverse game titles.

As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for the King of Monsters himself, King Kong, I must admit my heart skipped a beat when I heard about Kong: Survivor Instinct. Having weathered through the storm that was Skull Island: Rise of Kong, I’m cautiously optimistic about this new title. The concept sounds intriguing – exploring a devastated city in search of a loved one post-Godzilla vs. Kong – and the fact that it’s set within the Monsterverse universe is an added bonus.

A new video game titled Kong: Survivor Instinct, featuring the legendary ape King Kong, is said to be in development by 7Levels and expected to launch on PC and gaming consoles soon. Details about the game’s setting within the universe of Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla vs. Kong are known, but as of now, there’s no word on its release date.

In the last few months, the Monsterverse has continued to thrive, boosted by the box office success of the movie “Godzilla vs. Kong: A New Empire“, where Godzilla and King Kong joined forces to combat a new danger. The franchise has previously ventured into other forms of media, like the Apple TV+ show “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” expanding the universe of the Monsterverse. Now, it’s also stepping onto modern gaming platforms.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve been eagerly anticipating any updates on Kong: Survivor Instinct, and luckily, 7Levels recently shared a tantalizing teaser on their Twitter account! It’s not an official trailer yet, but the sneak peek they gave us seems to hint at a monstrous skull with the game’s tagline below. Excitingly, they also tagged the official accounts for Legendary Pictures and the Monsterverse films, suggesting that this game will be set within the same universe as those films. I can hardly wait to see more!

New King Kong Game Announcement Stirs Excitement Online

Kong: Survivor Instinct will seemingly be a 2.5D action-adventure game where players control a father searching for his daughter in the aftermath of the events of Godzilla vs. Kong, tasking them with exploring a devastated city along their journey. The game will also reportedly be a part of a three-part expansion of the Monsterverse into multiple gaming mediums, with one taking shape as a mobile tie-in and the other being a Roblox game themed after Godzilla x Kong.

I’m not just a newcomer when it comes to Kong appearing in popular video games; he’s been gracing our screens for quite some time now, making appearances in many titles throughout gaming history. The latest being the heavily criticized “Skull Island: Rise of Kong” at launch. This game was met with a wave of negative reviews due to its subpar graphics, numerous bugs, and awkward combat mechanics. Many fans, including myself, felt that the publisher, GameMill, released it prematurely, before it was fully polished and ready for public consumption.

It seems that the latest Kong game is being handled more skillfully, and although there’s no word on its release date yet, reactions to 7Levels’ tweet suggest a high level of anticipation from fans. Some have even expressed hope for another solo Godzilla game. After making appearances as a crossover character in Dave the Diver and as a downloadable fighter in Gigabash, Godzilla hasn’t had an official standalone game since 2014’s Godzilla for PS3 and PS4, which has since been withdrawn from sale.
