Tate Multimedia released Kao The Kangaroo: Round 2 last year over on the Steam store, much to the delight of fans of the 3D adventure series. Since then they’ve been working around the clock on a brand new entry in the series, which they just recently announced on the Steam page.

In a short post they explained…

“It’s a great pleasure to confirm all the speculations of our outstanding community – Yes! We are working on the entirely new Kao the Kangaroo game.

“This time Kao will take on a completely new journey. New story, challenges, enemies, visuals, and a whole lot more! We will keep you posted and soon you will be able to see a first glance of the game – so stay tuned!”

As a celebration for the announcement, Tate Multimedia discounted Kao The Kangaroo: Round 2 so that it’s 100% free right now, and it will be free up through June 14th. So if you didn’t grab a copy of the game already, definitely feel free to do so right now.

The discount seems like it might be overkill given that the game was already quite cheap on Steam, available for only $1.99. It also provides gamers with a wholesome gameplay experience without any of the agitprop or subversive material that newer games made in [current year] seem to be chock full of. So that’s an added reason to check out the game if you’re into 3D platformers that hearken back to the fifth and sixth generation of gaming.

The best part about it is that Tate Multimedia is not on the Traitors of America list, so feel free to show them some love.
