There's a new King Kong game out right now, but you might not have known about it. Developer IguanaBee and publisher GameMill Entertainment have remained silent on social platforms about the game, despite the fact it only released earlier today.
The reason for that may be the state of the game at release. Full walkthroughs and cutscene footage have been shared on social media and are gaining traction for the game's poor quality.
IguanaBee is a small studio based in Chile which developed party game Headsnatchers and third person shooter G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout. GameMill Entertainment is a company which has published games for franchises through licensing deals. Its most successfully published title is Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, which a sequel is in development for.
Skull Island: Rise of Kong is raising eyebrows over its graphics, gameplay and animations, and its $40/£35 price tag. Case in point:

This costs 40 dollars and is made by people that make low effort shovelware with big IP franchises.

The game is looking so bad, it's even drawing comparisons to The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, which was heavily criticised for its performance when it released earlier this year.
Are we really being blessed with a second gollum in the same year https://t.co/3CFB34VfMC
Skull Island: Rise of Kong is out on PC, PS4/5, Switch and Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S, though if you're looking for a more decent King Kong game experience, some fans are suggesting you try out Peter Jackson's King Kong, the 2005 game for the PS2.
Eurogamer has contacted GameMill Entertainment regarding the game's performance.
Anyways, back to playing this gem pic.twitter.com/x2b3TwADmU
Just gonna remind people that the 2005 Peter Jackson King Kong game is, while not perfect, actually pretty damn good survival FPS game where you really struggle against the Island's creatures and every bullet you get matters, and you have get the creatures to attack and prey on… pic.twitter.com/DXWaMGBCl2

Never let it be said that video game companies don’t know how to have fun with their fanbases and properties. Whether it’s Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony, each one of them has created things over the years that go beyond just “making video games” and play into the public love of other things. For Sony, they’re continuing to push the PlayStation 5 system as it’s been doing great sales-wise ever since the parts shortages ended a while back. As such, Sony decided that one of the best ways to highlight their characters and console was to become an official sponsor of the Champion’s League!

Everyone's going wild for Skull Island: Rise of Kong, but not because it's any good. No, it's actually quite the opposite - it's so bad that it's funny. From its poor-quality visuals to game design that's at least two decades out of date, it's a disaster that's impossible to look away from. And now, we might have a better idea of why it launched in such a state.
When Skull Island: Rise of Kong was released earlier this week, we reported on the visceral social media reactions to its rudimentary gameplay, PS2-esque graphics, and left-fielded bugs with many calling it "the worst game of 2023." The reason it's received that dubious title, however, is apparently because the developers only had a year to work on King Kong's latest video game outing.
