After recently releasing on Google Stadia, it's time for the 13AM Games team to deliver their cooperative kaiju beat ‘em up to other formats. If you're a gamer who deals in Xbox, PlayStation, Switch or PC play, it's time to bear witness the Dawn of the Monsters.

Brace yourself for a truly old-school beat ‘em up adventure that’s just snuck onto Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Master your art and master your destiny in the upcoming beat ‘em up action game from Buka Entertainment and Ravenscourt, 9 Monkeys of Shaolin. One thing is for sure: you'll need to know thy enemy when it hits Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC on 16th October.
