Inspired Entertainment launches King Kong Crash Climber and Wolf It Up! Again in UK and Malta
King Kong Crash Climber combines crash-style mechanics with player choice and selectable risk tiers
Wolf It Up! Again builds on a prior release with additional features and flexible gameplay options

Inspired Entertainment has released two new online slot titles across UK and Malta iGaming jurisdictions: King Kong Crash Climber and Wolf It Up! Again.

King Kong Crash Climber represents the company's entry into the crash-style gaming genre, featuring the iconic ape character in a risk-versus-reward format.

Players control King Kong's climb up a skyscraper, choosing between collecting immediate wins or pursuing larger prizes with potential payouts up to 1,000x their stake.

The game incorporates five selectable risk tiers, animated visuals and player-controlled decision-making designed to boost engagement and retention.

Meanwhile, Wolf It Up! Again serves as the sequel to Inspired's Wolf It Up! title, building upon the original's fairy tale theme with additional features.

The game includes two new Cash Bank Free Spins Bonus rounds and an upgraded Wolf Wheel Bonus.

With medium volatility and configurable features - including Fortune Bet, Fortune Spins and Bonus Buy options - the title aims to offer a range of different gameplay elements.

Commenting on the launches, Claire Osborne, VP of Interactive at Inspired Entertainment, stated: "With King Kong Crash Climber and Wolf It Up! Again, we're giving players two very different, but equally exciting experiences.

"King Kong Crash Climber brings a new twist to the crash-style genre, giving players the choice on when to cash out. Meanwhile, Wolf It Up! Again builds on the charm and success of one of our biggest ever games, adding fresh mechanics and exciting new ways to win.

"Together, these games show creativity while delivering fun casino content that keeps players engaged."

The launches coincide with Inspired's ongoing business realignment, including the sale of its UK holiday parks business to Japanese company Genda for £18.6m ($24.8m) last week.

The transaction involves 11,000 physical gaming machines across 170 locations, allowing Inspired to focus on digital operations while maintaining content and platform service agreements.

This decision came following Inspired Entertainment's Q2 report, in which the company's interactive segment demonstrated strong performance - with revenue growth of 45% year-on-year, while overall company revenue increased 7% to $80.3m.
