Description

A sudden Titan attack prompts massive evacuation efforts-but not everyone makes it to safety before the devastation ensues. Caught in the crossfire between battling monsters, many residents become trapped in the collapsing city—your only daughter among them!

Kong: Survivor Instinct is a 2.5D action-adventure game that combines realistic platforming, challenging combat, and metroidvania-style exploration during a thrilling quest of survival worthy of the Monsterverse franchise.

TRUE MONSTERVERSE ADVENTURE
Influence the Titans with Monarch tech and use their enormous strength to your advantage as you navigate a treacherous maze of collapsing buildings, toxic leaks, and raging fires. Scavenge for resources, weapons, and tools to solve environmental puzzles and defend yourself against both human and monster enemies.

FACE THE LEGENDARY KONG
Explore and survive as you encounter Kong in all his majestic glory, face the formidable Abaddon, and confront other new and returning superspecies and Titans! Whether you scavenge through half-destroyed buildings or fight off mercenaries, these enormous monsters are nearby, directly or indirectly impacting your gameplay. Though the Titans pose a lethal threat, you can - and must - influence their behavior with the ORCA Σ, a new prototype inspired by Monarch’s technology.

ALAN JONAH RETURNS
Discover an official Monsterverse story set shortly after the events of
Godzilla vs. Kong. Stand your ground against the Hyenas, a mercenary group led by Alan Jonah. Reemerging after the events of Godzilla: King of the Monsters, the former eco-terrorist leader returns in Kong: Survivor Instinct with a new villainous scheme.

A FATHER’S MISSION TO RESCUE HIS DAUGHTER
Take on the role of David, an oil rig worker braving a crumbling city to find your only child, Stacy. Make your way through the districts while encountering fellow survivors taking shelter among the rubble, mourning their loved ones or on the verge of giving up hope. Feel the awe-inspiring terror Titans bring upon a city through the eyes of a father desperate to find his daughter!

Development

On May 25, 2022, 7Levels announced that it had signed a contract with Legendary Pictures to develop a Monsterverse video game for "PC and current- and next-generation consoles." It was stated to be a combination of action, adventure, and platformer games that takes place in a ruined city shortly after the events of Godzilla vs. Kong, requiring players to survive by using "the enormous strength of the Titans," among other things. 7Levels vice-president Krzysztof Król described it as "the largest project we have ever worked on, our most important contract ever."[3] A blurb about the game also appeared in that day's Show Daily for Licensing Expo 2022, which described the game as being 2.5D and involving the "unravel[ing of] a mystery tied into the franchise."[4]

Over a year later, on September 27, 2023, 7Levels announced that it would issue 150,000 shares in order to secure additional funding for the game, due to "challenges related to development of the project and the possibility of creating an even more impressive game." The report also revealed that the game was "in an advanced stage of production," with the studio focusing on "work related to optimization, implementation of some gameplay mechanics, effects, cinematics, and elimination of all bugs" and looking into securing a publisher.[5] In a press release from Legendary on April 4, 2024, the game was revealed to be titled Kong: Titan Echoes with an expected release in 2024.[6]

On August 15, the game was reported under a different title of Kong: Survivor Instinct. Its plot was described as taking place "during and after [...] Godzilla vs. Kong" and involving the player controlling "a father searching for his lost daughter through the wreckage left in the wake of Kong and Godzilla's battle."[7] The game's primary release platforms were also confirmed as Steam, Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5.[8]

Marketing

On August 15, 2024, 7Levels' social media accounts[note 1] posted teaser images for the game, featuring an unidentified spider-like Titan, along with the announcement that the game would soon be revealed. The next day, a teaser trailer was uploaded to 7Levels' X account, confirming the Titan to be the previously-unseen Abaddon from Godzilla: King of the Monsters.[11]
