Nintendo has announced on its Nintendo Today app that a Donkey Kong Bananza Direct presentation will arrive on Wednesday, June 18, starting at 6 a.m. PDT / 9 a.m. EDT / 2 p.m. BST.
On the Nintendo Today app, it was confirmed that the event will present “roughly 15 minutes of information about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 game.” Since announcing the title back in its April NS2 Direct, Nintendo has slow-dripped information to the public regarding the brand-new DK adventure.
But here’s what we know.
Donkey Kong Bananza is a 3D adventure game where players guide a cartoonishly charming redesigned DK as he locates golden bananas before an evil group called VoidCo. can get to them first. Odd Rock joins DK as his companion as the king of the Kongs wreaks havoc in this brand new adventure, with the ability to smash up the locale and environment around him, which Polygon detailed in an early hands-on impression.
The game previously suffered from a leak, showing off a baby-looking version of Pauline, accompanying DK on his journey in place of the purple creature. Pauline could be seen in the leaked screenshots wearing a purple bracelet resembling Odd Rock’s material and design, leading some players to believe that the two characters are connected. As for additional Kongs, Cranky Kong was shown in the trailer, but no other monkey family members have been revealed. Yet.
Nintendo releases Donkey Kong Bananza on the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 17.
