If you took a guess at the many. many games that could have influenced a King Kong game I doubt you would have guessed “Flashback” even if you did have one hundred guesses, but that appears to be the case with Kong: Survivor Instinct.

Set in the official Monsterverse the game is set shortly after the events of 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong and finds you playing a father searching for his lost daughter in the wreckage of a city.  It will also include the first ever appearance of Abaddon, a giant spider Titan who is briefly referenced but never seen in the film. Hopefully it will be better than the last Kong game!

“7Levels has brilliantly captured a unique corner of the Monsterverse through a gripping 2.5D action-adventure experience, weaving in a very human storyline,” said Legendary Entertainment’s VP of Interactive Media Sam Rappaport. “Experiencing the narrative through the eyes of a civilian, unaffiliated with any agencies, adds a layer of realism and emotional depth that we hope will resonate with our fans.”

Here are the key features;

Feel the awe-inspiring terror Titans bring upon a city through the eyes of a father desperate to find his daughter!

Kong: Survivor Instinct will be launching later this year on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Yep, no last gen or Switch versions which seems slightly odd, it doesn’t look like it be too much of a push to get it running on a Switch.
