Gematsu has more details on the game, including that it will cost $39.99 for the standard edition, whereas a digital deluxe “Colossal Edition” will cost $49.99 and comes with eight exclusive film grains to change the visual presentation of the game, eight different color schemes for Kong, a boss-rush mode, a behind-the-scenes pack with artwork and an orchestral soundtrack, and more.

In Skull Island: Rise of Kong, players control Kong on a “quest to avenge the death of Kong’s parents at the hands of the ultimate alpha predator: the saurian terror Gaw,” according to GameMill Entertainment. You must fight against waves of primal beasts, unique bosses, and anything else in Kong’s way. 

Skull Island Rise of Kong is not yet released, but the game will hit Switch, PlayStation 3, Xbox 4, and PCs this Fall. 

Here’s hoping the achievements in the game are as bountiful as those in 2005’s Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game Of The Movie, which is infamous for its easy-to-obtain 1000 Gamerscore on Xbox. Here you can see us playing the game. It seems that Kong is on the rise in games with an appearance in Call of Duty Warzone last year, featuring his frienemy Godzilla too. Here’s hoping Skull Island: Rise of Kong is just the start of a new wave of monster-bashing games.
