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.
