RedDeer.Games has revealed that it is working on a game based on the Polish comic book series Kayko and Kokosh, which is coming to Nintendo Switch.
Originally written by Janusz Christa, the series charts the adventures of Slavic warriors Kayko and Kokosh who will do whatever they can to defend Mirmilovo castle from the evil order of Knaveknights.
The game will “be a unique combination of the colouring book, interactive comic, and visual novel,” and serve to introduce these heroes to a wider audience around the world.
The publisher has outlined the game’s features as below:
- Meet The Heroes: Kayko is the clever, resourceful, and lovable kind of a hero, while Kokosh is more of a strong and confident type, who’s always hungry. They both serve castellan and his wife—Mirmil and Lubava—who take care of general order in Mirmilovo.
- Slavic Flair And Cunning: In this beautiful, yet rarely quiet place the sneaky attacks from the Knaveknights are so common that Kayko and Kokosh need to constantly invent new tactics of saving the castle. And they do it in the funniest and cunning ways possible: from absurd diplomatic disputes through changing the opening hours of the castle to the fight with an overwhelming spirit of laziness.
- Above All – Good Fun: The additional ten comic strips picture everyday life in the castle and its surroundings, with cute and magical creatures that live there. Thanks to the fun drawings and stories the game should please readers of every age and improve their mood immediately!
“Cooperation with Janusz Christa’s Kreska Foundation is an honour and a great pleasure,” explains RedDeerGames CEO Michał M. Lisiecki. “Our mission is clear: to create games that comic book fans will love, but also to present these characters and the universe to a global audience. We believe that Kayko and Kokosh deserve it.”
The Kayko and Kokosh game will release at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in Q1 2022.
