Warsaw, Poland, Thursday 21st April 2022: Tate Multimedia can today confirm that, more than 20 years after his debut, Kao the Kangaroo will make its return on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam on Friday 27th May, 2022.

Kao - pronounced K-O - launched his first adventure on SEGA’s legendary Dreamcast back in the year 2000. Now, two decades on, Tate Multimedia has decided to give the platforming genre a bit of a kick and let Kao off the leash once more, releasing his biggest adventure yet. 

Setting out to find his missing sister and solve the mystery of what happened to his long-lost father, players will join Kao as he picks up his magical boxing gloves and travels the world confronting famous fighting masters who are under the influence of disturbing, dark power, all while exploring a colourful and vibrant world alive with activity and visual flair. 

“We’ve been blown away by the response we’ve had from gamers since we announced Kao the Kangaroo was making a return earlier this year,” says Kaja Borowko, Head of Studio. “With this new chapter, we’ve set out to make sure the new Kao the Kangaroo both honours his previous outings and offers fresh, contemporary gameplay for fans new and old alike. This is a complete reboot for Kao, and we can’t wait to see how people take to it at launch!”

Tate Multimedia can also announce it will be taking a demo build of Kao the Kangaroo to PAX East at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center between Thursday April 21st to Sunday April 24th. Attendees are invited to visit Limited Run Games at Booth #21085 for an exclusive hands-on experience with the latest demo build.
