Legend of Kay was an action 3D platformer that was originally released back in 2005. Nordic Games revealed today that it’s working on an Anniversary edition that aims to be a “thoroughly remastered version” of the original.
Legend of Kay sees players take the role of a Cat called Kay, who is a real martial arts aficionado and very much adept in frightening foes with his paws and his weaponry. Kind of like Puss from Shrek.
“It has been a pleasure to work with KAIKO and having the opportunity bringing Kay back to life again”, comments Gennaro Giani, producer & localization manager at Nordic Games. “Legend of Kay is pure action-gaming with fantastic 3D Platformer Elements and a wonderful Soundtrack. My personal tagline for Legend of Kay: Easy to learn, hard to master.”
“Legend of Kay was a true gem on the Playstation 2 platform”, adds Reinhard Pollice, business & product development director at Nordic Games. “Our strategy is to focus on our IPs and make them available to as many players as possible and also on the current generation of consoles. We keep our options open to expand on the Legend of Kay franchise in the future.”
“Working on Legend of Kay Anniversary was and still is quite remarkable”, comments Peter Thierolf, founder and managing director at KAIKO. “We were able to rediscover the attention to detail with which the original game had been crafted and pushed ourselves to be true to that original spirit. This was about the best time we had within the last couple of years.”
The Legend of Kay Anniversary Edition is currently planned for release in Summer 2015 and will be priced between USD/EUR 19.99 and 29.99, depending on the platform. PC is the only platform we care about at GameWatcher, but we know we’ve got some console buddies lying around too, so we should probably mention that it’s heading to Wii U, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well as the loveable PC.
