King Kong fans suffered through a disastrous game last year, but it seems like fortune is smiling on the franchise now with a new entry. Kong: Survivor Instinct is a new sidescroller set within the movie timeline and appears to be a unique take on the series.
A trailer for the game dropped today, Aug. 19, and was shared by IGN on YouTube. It features the game’s main protagonist surviving a recent attack by a Titan coming in the form of a gigantic spider that sporadically appears to haunt the player. The game’s Steam page describes it as a “2.5D action-adventure game” that aims to provide players with “Metroidvania-style exploration” and a “true monsterverse adventure.” And the Steam description claims players will also have a chance to “face the Legendary Kong,” alongside other popular Titans.
