What Is the New King Kong Video Game About?
A sudden Titan attack prompts massive evacuation efforts-but not everyone makes it to safety before the devastation ensues. Caught in the crossfire between battling monsters, many residents become trapped in the collapsing city—your only daughter among them!
Kong: Survivor Instinct is a 2.5D action-adventure game that combines realistic platforming, challenging combat, and metroidvania-style exploration during a thrilling quest of survival worthy of the Monsterverse franchise.
Influence the Titans with Monarch tech and use their enormous strength to your advantage as you navigate a treacherous maze of collapsing buildings, toxic leaks, and raging fires. Scavenge for resources, weapons, and tools to solve environmental puzzles and defend yourself against both human and monster enemies.

Hopefully, Kong: Survivor Instinct fares a whole lot better than Skull Island. Based on the trailer, it looks better graphically, at least. Before Skull Island, the last video game based on the character was Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World, which was released back in 2005 on the Game Boy Advance.
Kong: Survivor Instinct will be released this October 22 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC at a suggested retailer price of $24.99
