"I should know, I used to visit it many, many years ago and struggled to use it on my dial-up connection. The site was powered by Flash (RIP), and over the years following its launch, it grew bigger and bigger, adding more content to find, virtual rooms to explore, songs to jam out to, and lots of fun Easter eggs for fans. Then in 2008, after a decade of support, the site was closed and forgotten."
"On September 10, Gorillaz released a new updated version of Kong Studios that features a Doom-like first-person shooter experience where players have to fight off the zombie apes as seen in the band's video for "Clint Eastwood." You can skip that and just enter Kong Studios directly, and if you do, you'll find a much higher-res version of the nostalgic site. There's plenty to click on and explore in the lobby of the place."
Kong Studios first launched in 1998 as a Flash-powered site and became a popular fan destination with mini-games, virtual rooms, music, and Easter eggs. The site closed in 2008 after a decade of support and remained inactive until its recent return. On September 10 a new updated version launched featuring a Doom-like first-person shooter where players fight zombie apes from the "Clint Eastwood" video, with an option to skip straight to a high-resolution version of Kong Studios. The lobby contains numerous clickable elements, and additional rooms and content are planned. Kong Studios functions as a gamified home for Gorillaz fandom.
