Fearless Feline Hero Stars in Spectacular Kung Fu Fighting Action Adventure -
E3, LOS ANGELES - May 18, 2005 - Capcom® today announced Legend of Kay™ for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Legend of Kay is a spirited action adventure game starring a courageous feline hero named Kay on a challenging quest to save his village from a menacing army of gorillas and rats. The game captures the essence of martial arts style movies as players master acrobatic kung fu moves, wield mighty weapons and deliver powerful magic attacks. The fast-paced gameplay, incredible graphics, and entertaining characters come together in an engaging story that will entertain gamers of all ages. Developed by Neon Studios, and published by JoWooD Productions Software AG in Europe, Capcom plans to publish Legend of Kay for North America this summer.
For generations, a settlement of peaceful cats has lived on the mythical island of Yenching, alongside many other animals. The harmony is disrupted when Shun, the power hungry king of the mighty gorillas, sends his army and their new rat allies to take over and enslave everyone in the land. Kay, a martial arts apprentice who diligently studies with his wise master at the town's dojo, must put his training to the test and face the adventure of a lifetime as he travels across the island to save his beloved village. Though Kay is a young cat, he is brave beyond his years and possesses great fighting skills. Armed with his trusty sword and fierce determination, he sets forth on a dangerous mission to save all cat-kind.
Legend of Kay features a flurry of action that recreates the feel of classic martial arts movies. Players must master an advanced close combat fighting system that is an explosive mix of kung fu moves and weapon attacks. Kay has more than 40 unique moves and can execute spectacular combos such as double and triple blows, back flips, somersaults, powerful magic attacks and more with the press of a few buttons. The battles will not be so easy however, as the onslaught of enemies that Kay must face are also armed with weapons and clever moves of their own.
