įollowing the poor reception of Skull Island: Rise of Kong, a report by The Verge revealed that GameMill gave IguanaBee one year to build the game from scratch, beginning in June 2022. He stated: 'I could not be more excited to be working with GameMill Entertainment's talented team that will provide both King Kong fans and gamers the chance to experience King Kong's primordial world in a gamified way'. Joe DeVito, writer and illustrator of the novel Kong: King of Skull Island, was involved with the development of the game. Enemies include both the island's basic wildlife and several named bosses faced in dedicated arenas. Skull Island combines brawler combat with exploration gameplay, following Kong as he travels across the titular island after the death of his parents.
