Kong is back as Kong: Survivor Instinct gets an Xbox, PlayStation and PC reveal!
Working in collaboration with Legendary Entertainment, 7Levels have today lifted the lid on their upcoming 2.5D action-adventure – Kong: Survivor Instinct. It’ll be coming later this year.
A new Kong experience
Set to land on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation and PC later in 2024, Kong: Survivor Instinct has been inspired by Legendary’s blockbuster Monsterverse franchise, set shortly after the events of 2021’s hit theatrical release, Godzilla vs. Kong. In it players will navigate a shattered city through the eyes of a father desperate to find his missing daughter.
Surely it’s going to be better than Kong’s previous in Skull Island: Rise of Kong?
The compelling narrative delivers an intense gaming experience, as you encounter survivors seeking refuge and discover Monarch technology to turn Titans’ power to your advantage while traversing a perilous maze of crumbling structures, hazardous leaks, and blazing fires.
Promising to combine realistic platforming and challenging combat in a quest for survival, Kong: Survivor Instinct will feature the first on-screen appearance of the terrifying Titan, Abaddon, as players will confront Kong in all his glory and encounter new and returning Titans and superspecies.
You’ll also get to stand your ground against the Hyenas, a mercenary group led by Alan Jonah, the former eco-terrorist from Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Titans are always nearby, directly or indirectly impacting your gameplay.
7Levels Speak
“The opportunity to work on the hugely popular Monsterverse IP has been an exciting and formative experience for all of us at 7Levels. Not only did we have a chance to show some of the fan-favorite Titans from a unique perspective, but we also found committed and supportive partners in the exceptional people at Legendary. Their deep understanding of the Monsterverse lore and what makes it so captivating to so many people around the world allowed us to recapture that essence and recreate it in our game,” said Paweł Biela, Co-Founder at 7Levels.
“7Levels has brilliantly captured a unique corner of the Monsterverse through a gripping 2.5D action-adventure experience, weaving in a very human storyline. 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. It has been a pleasure to collaborate with 7Levels on this truly compelling experience,” said Sam Rappaport, VP Interactive Media at Legendary.
