Maybe King Kong will have two good games now (Picture: Amazon)
A new King Kong game has been accidentally revealed and it seems to be a prequel to the recent film, where you get to play as Kong himself.
Given what a pop culture icon he is in Japan you wouldāve though thereād be plenty of high quality Godzilla games by now, but the only decent ones were Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and its sequels, made by an American studio back in the early 2000s.
By comparison, King Kong has appeared in far fewer titles but at least one of them was genuinely good: an adaptation of the Peter Jackson film from 2005, by Ryman creator Michel Ancel.
The only console tie-ins to the more recent MonsterVerse films have been cameos in Call Of Duty, of all things, but a new game called Skull Island: Rise Of Kong has been revealed by Amazon Spain.
At time of writing the listing is still live, so nobody seems too concerned about the leak, but then it does seem a fairly low budget affair, from little known publisher GameMill Entertainment.
The release date is down as December 31, 2024, which is obviously a placeholder but there is official box art and a description of the game in Spanish.
According to Google Translate it says: āEmbark on a third person action adventure to avenge the death of your parents at the hands of the ultimate alpha predator: Gaw. Conquer waves of primal beasts and defeat your archenemyās minions to become the rightful king of Skull Island.
āCross the mysterious island and discover the history and secrets it hides as you come across swamps, waterfalls, jungle and caves full of skullites that give power to the flora and fauna of the island.ā

According to Wikizilla, Gaw is a title given to the leader of the dinosaur-like Deathrunners, who only appeared in novels and comic books based on the films.
Apparently, they killed Kongās parents and by defeating them he became king of Skull Island. The wiki doesnāt have a listing for skullites, so weāre not sure what they are, but maybe itās the Spanish name for Skullcrawlers.
The movie Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is due out next March, so it seems likely that this new game will try and aim for a release date around then. Although an official announcement will have to come first.
