King Kong, also referred to simply as Kong, is a fictional giant monster resembling a gorilla, who has appeared in various media since 1933. The character has become an international pop culture icon, appearing in several movies, comics, video games and television series. His first appearance was in the novelization of the 1933 film King Kong from RKO Pictures, with the film premiering a little over two months later. A sequel quickly followed that same year with The Son of Kong, featuring Little Kong. The Japanese film company Toho later produced King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962), featuring a giant Kong battling Toho's Godzilla, and King Kong Escapes (1967), a film loosely based on Rankin/Bass' The King Kong Show (1966–1969). In 1976, Dino De Laurentiis produced a modern remake of the original film directed by John Guillermin. A sequel, King Kong Lives, followed a decade later featuring a Lady Kong. Another remake of the original, set in 1933, was released in 2005 by filmmaker Peter Jackson. Kong: Skull Island (2017), set in 1973, is part of Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Entertainment's Monsterverse, which began with a reboot of Godzilla in 2014. A sequel, Godzilla vs. Kong was released in 2021. It was followed by the film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire in 2024, which featured more of Kong's kind. King Kong has inspired a number of imitators, parodies, cartoons, books, comics, video games, theme park rides, and a stage play. The character has also crossed over into other franchises such as Godzilla, Planet of the Apes, Doc Savage, Tarzan, and the Justice League. His role in the different narratives varies, ranging from an egregious monster to a tragic antihero.

The world is on fire. It has been for many many years... but the fire never burns out. It only grows stronger as the fuel is dumped into the flames. Humanity has grown far more technologically advanced as A.I. and android robots become a normal part of human culture. But what weighs on every person's mind is how long until they are set back? How long before the past comes back to destroy them? How long before nature swallows mankind whole... Kaiju attacks have become more and more common as human activity awakens them and forces them to the surface of the planet. Like worms rising from the dirt during rain, the Kaiju continue to appear on the surface and attack cities in an attempt to fight the infection that is attacking their planet. This planet was never ours... ancient species owned this planet long before mankind, and if we keep our heads buried in the sand they will take it back. The war for Earth has only begun.
