Months ago, we spotted an update to Raw Thrills’ King Kong of Skull Island on test. Since then, we’ve heard nary a word about it, nor another sighting. That changes today as the update will appear at IAAPA 2023 this next week. Let’s see what it is all about:
King Kong II – Hardware Details
This sequel is a major content update that warrants the “II” being added to the title. In addition to the existing 1-3 chapters, II adds 4 & 5 to the mix.

King Kong II – Software Details
The two chapters are known as Tri-Trouble and Into the Deep, respectively.

Some of those details can be seen in the official trailer for the game:
I don’t have pricing at the moment but it will certainly be known to distributors at IAAPA (or you can drop your salesperson a line already). What do you think about this?
