by Rainier on Sept. 1, 2020 @ 8:28 a.m. PDT

Kao the Kangaroo is back with a brand new 3D platforming adventure, ready to pick up his boxing gloves and K.O. his way through this epic journey.

Join Kao on his biggest adventure yet!

This time the brave kangaroo has to find his missing sister and solve the mystery of what happened to his long-gone father. He will need to travel the world and confront the famous fighting masters, who are influenced by the mysterious, dark power. On the course of his journey, Kao will learn under the guidance of his master - Walt, how to become not only an awesome fighter but also a clever one who uses his head as much as his fists. Although he will need to fight lots of enemies along his way, he will also make new and strengthen old friendships. Finally, he will need to face his ultimate opponent - the mysterious Eternal Warrior, whose ambitions are a threat to the world balance.

Will he succeed? It’s all up to you!


It’s been three months since we’ve confirmed that after 15 years,  our beloved Kao is coming back with a brand new adventure. And now it’s a great pleasure to announce Kao the Kangaroo game is available for wishlisting on Steam

We highly value our strong and dedicated community. So we want to create the game with their support, based on their feedback and opinion. This is why we encourage our fans to share with us all the thoughts regarding the new appearance of Kao. 

In the new design, we wanted to take the good classic Kao spirit and give him a modern look but most importantly, show his brave and fighters nature.

Kao the Kangaroo is considered as a part of Poland's national gaming heritage. The first game - Kao the Kangaroo celebrates its 20th anniversary! This colorful 3D platformer gave a lot of joyful childhood memories to many people around the world. The sequel Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 was in Top 10 for 12 months in Polish retail stores. The game series sold in over 700 000 retail units worldwide up to date.

#BringKaoBack - In Early 2019 the community started an initiative marked by the hashtag #BringKaoBack to support and bring their favorite character back to a modern platform. 

As an answer to these requests, we have published a remastered Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 on Steam. On June 1st, 2019 - as a gift for our community we have launched the game on Steam for free. Within 24 hours Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2 has been downloaded by over 750 000 players! 

#Kao4Australia - January 2020 - as soon as we found out about the horrific bushfires in Australia we have decided to support the worldwide relief - after all we are talking about Kao’s motherland. We started the 10 days fundraiser - all the Kao The Kangaroo: Round 2 Steam profits were donated to the WIRES (NSW Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service Inc.) 

Loading... please wait - Since June 1st, 2020, all the Kao fans are wondering what is going on. There were hundreds of speculations: Is there a Kao sequel in production? Or maybe a trilogy remaster? Now we are happy to confirm:
