Tate Multimedia has today announced the official Kao the Kangaroo release date. More than 20 years after his debut, Kao the Kangaroo will make its return on 27th May, 2022. The game is currently in development for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Kao – pronounced K-O – launched his first adventure on SEGA’s legendary Dreamcast back in the year 2000. Now, two decades on, Kao is giving the platforming genre a kick and jumping into a new adventure.
Players will join Kao as he sets off to find his missing sister, and solve the mystery of what happened to his long-lost father. Kao picks up his magical boxing gloves and travels the world confronting famous fighting masters who are under the influence of disturbing, dark power, all while exploring a colourful and vibrant world alive with activity and visual flair.
“We’ve been blown away by the response we’ve had from gamers since we announced Kao the Kangaroo was making a return earlier this year,”
“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!”
Kaja Borowko, Head of Studio.
