I played the original Kao the Kangaroo on the Dreamcast back in 2000. I love a good mascot platformer, so I was excited to play around with a new character in a new world. I have been keeping an eye on the upcoming reboot by Tate Multimedia, and they’ve just released a new trailer. This trailer shows off some of the characters you’ll encounter along the way in your time alongside the titular Kangaroo.

Kao the Kangaroo will release on all major platforms on May 27th and will bring the franchise (which spanned 4 games) to audiences with an all-new adventure. Here is what the press release has to say about Kao the Kangaroo and its newest trailer:

Said trailer casts light on Kao’s mentor and sparring partner Walt, his mother – the “Iron Lady” – Marlene, and his best friend and notorious inventor Gadget.

Kao – pronounced K-O – launched his first adventure on Dreamcast back in the year 2000. Now, two decades on, Tate Multimedia is rebooting Kao with his biggest adventure yet. The original Kao the Kangaroo series collectively sold more than 700,000 units worldwide, with four games in total having launched across multiple platforms.

In his latest release, Kao will use his boxing gloves to punch a path through his adversaries, jabbing his way through the obstacles ahead as he pummels his way to glory.

Kao the Kangaroo will feature:

  • Beautiful, diverse worlds, packed with secrets
  • Engaging and fun gameplay for all ages – family-friendly, but for core gamers too
  • Magic gloves stacked with powers
  • Kao himself – a cheeky, brave, and feisty kangaroo who embarks on a life-changing journey

  • An engaging story filled with a cast of captivating characters
  • Challenging combat including unique boss battles
  • A whole host of items to collect”

I’m excited to give Kao the Kangaroo another shot at greatness. May 27th isn’t all that far away, so if you’re interested, keep your eyes peeled. Kao the Kangaroo will be sold for $29.99 USD on all major platforms.
