Cooper’s King Kong, this exhilarating third-person action-adventure game lets you become Kong on a journey of vengeance as you fight to claim your rightful place as King of Skull Island.  Take on an action-packed quest to avenge the death of Kong’s parents at the hands of the ultimate alpha predator: the saurian terror Gaw. Traverse the mysterious island and uncover its secrets across a variety of treacherous environments, discovering the power coursing through its exotic flora and fauna. Conquer waves of primal beasts, defeat unique bosses, and rise above all who stand in Kong’s way to being King!

The standard edition will retail for $39.99, with a digital deluxe 'Colossal Edition' for $49.99, which includes eight exclusive film grains featuring the ability to experience a red-tinted rage mode and the original look of the classic 1933 and 1970s-era King Kong films, the Kong style pack with eight different colors so you can choose your own Kong, a boss-rush mode allowing you to defeat all the titans of Skull Island, and a behind-the-scenes exclusive pack including looks at in-game artwork and the all-original orchestral soundtrack.

Explore the Origins of the King – Start your journey as the orphaned Kong and experience his evolution to the King of Skull Island as you hunt for revenge against Gaw.

Unleash the Fury of Kong – Deal devastating combos to dominate Gaw’s ferocious minions, and unleash your rage to heighten the impact of your attacks. Send even the most gargantuan of enemies fleeing with your earth-shattering roar and brutal finishing attacks.

Ascend to New Heights – Gain new abilities through special events and intense boss fights to unlock Kong’s full potential.

Discover the Mythos of Skull Island – Explore mountainous terrain, jungles, swamps, skullite-filled caves, and more to unearth collectibles, unlock new areas, and learn more about the mysterious history of this faraway land.

I love Kong, and especially Kong Skull Island, so I was excited for this at first, until I saw the 2007 style gameplay Hopefully it'll still be fun
