More to Come

While a specific release date has not been announced yet, Skull Island: Rise of Kong is set to arrive on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC this fall. Stay tuned for further updates and announcements.

High Expectations and Hopes

We hope that Skull Island: Rise of Kong will offer achievements and rewards as bountiful as those found in 2005’s Peter Jackson’s King Kong: The Official Game Of The Movie. The 1000 Gamerscore on Xbox was notoriously easy to obtain in that game. You can watch our playthrough of the game in our King Kong Replay video. Given Kong’s recent appearance in Call of Duty Warzone alongside his longstanding rival Godzilla, we are excited about the potential for more monster-bashing games in the future.
