Kao the Kangaroo News

Hello there!

It’s been a hot minute since our last update, but here we are with more Kao The Kangaroo goodness!

Firstly, we have our new Friends & Family video that introduces (or reintroduces for some of you) the supporting cast of Kao The Kangaroo. You might spot a few familiar names with a fresh face!

In other updates, Kao The Kangaroo was present at PAX East 2022 with our friends at Limited Run! We welcomed a horde of people onto the booth to give Kao a try! As well as this, we were interviewed by a host of content creators and press, some of which you can find below -

As we get closer and closer to that magic May 27th date we become more excited to get the game into your hands. We’re humbled and honoured to have your support with us!




Until next time!

A secret once thought buried, a mighty pair of boxing gloves imbued with power over the elements seems like a blessing... or are they? Harness the power of the gloves to defeat Kao’s enemies, traverse through the world, and help uncover the truth behind Kao’s father’s disappearance!



The time has finally come when we can say that Kao The Kangaroo is officially releasing May 27th, 2022!

We are extremely excited to finally put the date out there. We know you’ve been asking ever since Kao’s return was announced. Additionally, we’d like to share with you the pricing -

Digital: $29.99/£24/99/€29.99
RRP: $34.99/£29.99/€34.99

The physical version of Kao The Kangaroo will be released across North America and Europe, on Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. A physical PC version will be released in Europe, but will require Steam.

We can’t wait for you to finally get your paws on Kao’s latest adventure and experience our furry friend on a whole new level!

As ever, we promised to reduce the amount of posts on Steam, instead bundling recent info all together to avoid spam...so here we are again!

Firstly, we have a new video for your lovely eyes to embrace. Kao has always enjoyed adventures across a range of environments and his newest adventure is no different! Enjoy this glimpse at what to expect this Summer in our environmental showcase

We've also revealed the Super Jump Edition!



The Super Jump Edition includes -

Colorful backpack
Collectible stickers
8 cm fridge magnet
Copy of the game
Special packaging

The Super Jump Edition is our special edition release in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary with our partner Cenega!

For those outside of those countries, we will have other editions launching, so keep your eyes peeled!

With Steam Nextfest coming to a close, the Kao The Kangaroo demo is no longer available.

First and foremost, we'd like to give you all a huge thank you for trying the demo. We're happy to give you the chance to get your hands on Kao's next adventure. Additionally, we'd like to thank you for leaving feedback. The amount of in-depth feedback we have received has been amazing. We're humbled you took the time to highlight things you liked, the things you did not like, and any bugs you found.

The fact a speed-running community spawned around the demo still blows us away!...even if that meant seeing the boomerang bug everyday ;)



It's not a PR gimmick. We really do read ALL of your feedback. Kao The Kangaroo would not be here without you, so your views are extremely important to us.

A big thank you to anyone who has clicked that magic Wishlist button too!

We've taken note of all the feedback and will be reflecting upon it now Nextfest is over. This is another furry foot forward as we come closer and closer to the release of Kao The Kangaroo this summer!
