Tate Multimedia has announced that the new Kao the Kangaroo game will be arriving on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC on May 27.
Despite sharing a name, this isn’t a rehashing of the 2000 Dreamcast adventure. Rather, it’s a brand new chapter that sees the gloved marsupial on the search for his missing sister and to uncover the truth about his long-lost father. Kao will be travelling the world, confronting “famous fighting masters”.
The game’s head of studio Kaja Borowko provides a quote on the release. “With this new chapter, we’ve set out to make sure the new Kao the Kangaroo both honours his previous outings and offers fresh, contemporary gameplay for fans new and old alike. This is a complete reboot for Kao, and we can’t wait to see how people take to it at launch!”
The original series had four games to its name, starting with the Sega Dreamcast original. Kao’s most recent outing before this one was Kao: Mystery of the Volcano, which was a PC exclusive all the way back in 2005. You can check out a trailer for the new adventure right down below.
Kao the Kangaroo lands on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC on May 27, 2022.
