Here's a blast from the past. Who remembers Kao the Kangaroo? This obscure platforming mascot debuted back in the early 00s, winning a cult following thanks to its simple but charming adventures. Tate Multimedia, developer and publisher of the previous entries, has announced the return of the boxing glove-clad marsupial, and you can catch a glimpse in the above trailer.

Simply named Kao the Kangaroo, this is a brand new game in the series for the modern day, and it looks to be another colourful, light-hearted action platformer. You'll be running about in natural environments, collecting coins, and beating up baddies. It's taking a suitably cartoonish aesthetic, and looks to be a fun time from what little is shown.

The game is hopping onto PlayStation 5 and PS4 this summer. Are you excited to see Kao come back? Don't stop the beat in the comments section below.
