Tate Multimedia have released a new Kao the Kangaroo characters trailer, introducing the platformer’s colorful cast of characters.

This new version of Kao the Kangaroo is a reboot of the cult classic 3D action-platformer from the Dreamcast era.

Kao the Kangaroo hopes to stay true to the original’s legacy, all while bringing it to a new generation of gamers with modern visuals and mechanics.

Here’s the new Kao the Kangaroo characters trailer:

Here’s a rundown on the June 2020-announced game:

Kao The Kangaroo is a 3D platformer from veterans of the genre Tate Multimedia, featuring a plucky, cheeky but a cutie, Kao The Kangaroo (Hey, just like in the title!) on a quest to uncover the truth around the disappearance of his father.

THE JOURNEY

During his journey, Kao will explore a wide variety of beautifully detailed environments, each harboring secrets to uncover. At every turn, Kao faces new challenges. He’ll have to use all his skills while learning some new ones…not all of them being natural to the world he lives in! As they say, it’s the journey that makes us, not the destination.

Being inspired by the heyday of 3D platformers, as well as building on Kao’s 21-year legacy, Kao The Kangaroo is packed with plenty of jumping, thumping, puzzle-solving, and collecting. A whole new amazing adventure with all the charm you’d expect from not just the genre, but Kao himself!
