  • KAIJU RISING — GODZILLA STORMS STORM POINT IN APEX LEGENDS LIMITED-TIME EVENT

    KAIJU RISING — GODZILLA STORMS STORM POINT IN APEX LEGENDS LIMITED-TIME EVENT

    The ground shakes. The horizon burns. And the King of the Monsters has arrived in the Outlands.

    EA and Respawn Entertainment have today revealed the Apex Legends | Godzilla Event — a towering collaboration with Toho Co., Ltd. that brings the legendary kaiju to Storm Point, transforming the map into a war zone of epic proportions. Running from 10 November through 1 December 2026 across all platforms, this limited-time takeover lets players battle amid Godzilla’s rampage — and wield his power against their rivals.

    THE BEAST AWAKENS — STORM POINT UNDER ATTACK

    This isn’t just a reskin. Godzilla has descended on Storm Point, and the island will never be the same. In the event’s Wildcard Mode takeover, the giant monster stalks the map, unleashing devastating heat beams, stomping through terrain, and reshaping the battlefield in real time.

    • Dodge destruction — Stay clear of his path, or be flattened in an instant
    • Fight in the fallout — Clashes unfold across altered terrain scarred by Godzilla’s wake
    • Channel his power — Claim a custom-tracking Devotion LMG empowered by kaiju energy, turning the monster’s own might against your enemies
    • Survive and dominate — The chaos of a rampaging legend becomes your tactical advantage

    TEN LEGENDS, TEN KAIJU — SKINS SPANNING DECADES

    Ten exclusive Legendary skins reimagine your favourite heroes as icons from the Godzilla universe, drawing inspiration from decades of the franchise’s history:

    The event introduces a dedicated Event Pass with two reward tracks:

    • Nintendo Switch 2
    • PC via EA App, Epic Games Store, and Steam

    WHY THIS MATTERS

    This is more than a crossover — it’s one of the boldest map takeovers in Apex Legends history. Godzilla isn’t just background scenery; he’s an active force on the battlefield, changing how you move, fight, and survive. Whether you’re dodging a heat beam mid-engagement or hunting for the empowered Devotion, every match feels like a fight for survival against — and alongside — a legend.

    For long-time kaiju fans, the attention to detail across the skins — pulling from the 1990s, 2000s, and modern eras — shows genuine respect for the franchise. For Apex players, it’s a fresh, high-stakes twist on the battle royale formula that breathes new life into Storm Point.

    The King has come. Will you survive his reign — or wield his power?

  • KINGS UNLEASHED — GODZILLA: DESTROY ALL MONSTERS MELEE REMASTERED SMASHES ONTO ALL MAJOR PLATFORMS

    KINGS UNLEASHED — GODZILLA: DESTROY ALL MONSTERS MELEE REMASTERED SMASHES ONTO ALL MAJOR PLATFORMS

    The king returns — bigger, better, more destructive

    The ultimate kaiju brawler is back. Twenty-four years after the original roared onto GameCube, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered has risen from the depths, rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5 and launching across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.

    Atari, Pipeworks Studios, and Toho International timed the release perfectly: November 3 marks the anniversary of the 1954 original Godzilla film — officially celebrated as Godzilla Day. And this remaster is more than a fresh coat of paint: it’s the definitive edition of a cult classic.

    What’s new — and what’s stayed gloriously chaotic

    Every monster, every city, every explosive throwdown has been reborn:

    • Fully remastered visuals — built in Unreal Engine 5, with high-fidelity models, dynamic lighting, and destructible environments that crumble spectacularly
    • 12 iconic kaiju — including Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Mothra, Gigan, and the fan-favourite Sh?wa-era Mechagodzilla
    • Familiar battlegrounds — Tokyo, San Francisco, Monster Island, and the alien Mothership, all recreated in stunning detail
    • All-new online multiplayer — the biggest request from fans; battle 1v1 online or locally with up to 4 players on the same screen
    • Streamlined unlock system — earn currency to unlock monsters and extras through play
    • Quality-of-life improvements — refined controls, faster loading, and modern display options

    Platforms & pricing — full breakdown

    PlatformDigital PricePhysical Edition
    PlayStation 5$29.99 (~£24)? $29.99 — available via official store
    Xbox Series X/S$29.99 (~£24)? Digital-only
    Steam (PC)$29.99 (~£24)? Digital-only
    Nintendo Switch (West)$29.99 (~£24)? Digital-only
    Nintendo Switch 2$29.99 (~£24)? $39.99 — available via official store
    Nintendo Switch (Japan & select Asia)$29.99 — launches 5 Nov 00:00 JST? None announced

    Physical editions ship from the official store at the link provided; the Switch 2 version carries a premium due to cartridge production costs.

    Why this remaster matters

    It’s been a long wait. The original Destroy All Monsters Melee defined kaiju gaming in the early 2000s — accessible, chaotic, and instantly fun. Since then, high-quality Godzilla fighting games have been rare. This remaster stays true to the GameCube classic while fixing its biggest limitation: no online play. Now you can battle kaiju fans across the globe — or invite friends round and trash the living room locally.

    Pipeworks has kept the feel and balance of the original intact; this is a respectful upgrade, not a reinvention. As Atari’s CCO put it: “Bigger, better and more destructive than ever.”

    Ready to roar?

    Digital editions are live right now — search Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered on your platform store. Physical orders are shipping now from the official store page. Japan and Asian Switch players: your release drops at midnight JST on November 5.

    Whether you’re here to defend Earth or flatten it — pick your monster, unleash your rage, and show the world who’s truly king.

    Play now — Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is available today.

  • Robots, Rivalries & Rampant Fungi — Dream Team Supreme Unleashes Major Demo Update!

    Robots, Rivalries & Rampant Fungi — Dream Team Supreme Unleashes Major Demo Update!

    Ready to pilot a giant robot, save the world, and take down monsters straight from a Saturday morning cartoon? Developer Big Adventure has just supercharged the playable demo for Dream Team Supreme — their vibrant co-op kaiju-battling deckbuilder — with not one, but two formidable new foes to face: Bushido Beetle and the terrifying King Mycol.

    What Is Dream Team Supreme?

    Dream Team Supreme casts you and a partner (or solo, if you prefer) as scientists piloting Super Supreme, a colossal two-headed robot built to defend Earth against a bizarre invasion of rampaging monsters. It’s a roguelike deckbuilder with a difference — instead of one deck, you build two, one for each pilot, and success depends on finding powerful synergies between your cards and your partner’s.

    • Pilot together — 1–2 player co-op or solo play
    • Dual-deck strategy — combine cartridges, plan your turn order, and chain devastating combos
    • Momentum mechanic — unused blocks convert into momentum, powering up your opening attack next round
    • Comic-book visuals — colourful, bold art style inspired by classic animation
    • Endlessly replayable — procedural maps, unlockable content, and hundreds of deck combinations

    Two New Kaiju Enter the Fray

    The freshly updated demo — version 0.23 — introduces two brand-new boss encounters, each with their own deadly tricks and distinct playstyles:

    Bushido Beetle

    A towering insect warrior that grows stronger as the fight drags on. The longer the battle lasts, the more dangerous it becomes — pressuring you to end things fast before its power peaks. Speed and precision are your only shields against this rising threat.

    King Mycol

    A furious fungal overlord that spreads spores to poison your systems and drain your strength. He doesn’t just hit hard — he weakens your ability to fight back. You’ll need to keep pace with his spreading toxins while maintaining your offensive pressure.

    Even More New Content

    The update doesn’t stop at monsters. Demo 0.23 also packs:

    • Two new playable scientists — fresh pilots with unique decks and abilities
    • 25 new mods — equip Super Supreme with game-changing upgrades between runs
    • New levels, locations & choices — expanded map with branching paths and strategic decisions
    • Co-op quality-of-life — see your partner’s cursor and card movements in real time
    • Visual & UI polish — clearer card distinctions, mod activation indicators, and enhanced animations

    What Lies Ahead

    The updated demo is available right now on Steam — free to download and play. The full release of Dream Team Supreme is targeted for Q1 2027, landing on PC and consoles. Big Adventure has emphasised that player feedback throughout the demo period will directly shape the final game, with regular updates and community discussions taking place via their Discord.

    “Two heads are better than one — especially when they’re both piloting a giant robot.”

    Wishlist Dream Team Supreme on Steam today, download the demo, and team up to take down Bushido Beetle and King Mycol before launch. The world needs saving — and science is on the case!

  • Rivalry Reborn: Ultraman Zero and Ultraman Belial Crash Into GigaBash!

    Rivalry Reborn: Ultraman Zero and Ultraman Belial Crash Into GigaBash!

    Tokusatsu fans, assemble. If you thought the monster-mashing chaos of Passion Republic Games’ GigaBash couldn’t get any bigger, think again. The ultimate kaiju crossover fighter has officially announced its next massive collaboration, and it’s a heavy-hitter straight from Nebula M78.

    Prepare your controllers, because Ultraman Zero and his ultimate archnemesis, Ultraman Belial, are officially joining the roster!

    The Ultimate Tokusatsu Clash

    Passion Republic Games has been the absolute gold standard when it comes to treating iconic franchises with respect. After successfully bringing Godzilla, Gamera, and classic Ultraman under one roof, they are diving deeper into the modern Ultra lore.

    This upcoming DLC packages the two legendary characters in their debut forms from the 2009 classic Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie. This isn’t just a simple reskin; it’s a full-on, mechanically unique expansion that beautifully captures the antithetical relationship of these two cosmic juggernauts.

    Light vs. Darkness: How They Play

    Early gameplay previews show that Passion Republic Games has flawlessly captured the exact mannerisms, audio, and visual details of the suit actors from the films. However, they both offer vastly different experiences on the battlefield:

    • Ultraman Zero: Designed for the seasoned player. Zero is fast, chaotic, and boasts a massive moveset. Players can throw out their signature sluggers to clip enemies from the front or back, setting up high-damage combos. If you can master his unique minigame mechanics, you can unleash the devastating Final Ultimate Zero beam.
    • Ultraman Belial: If you prefer pure, unadulterated power, the evil Ultra is for you. Much more accessible for newcomers, Belial wields the terrifying Giga Battlenizer. He commands an insane 10-hit auto-combo and can inflict devastating status effects like burn and shock to slowly melt away his opponent’s health bar.

    Release Date & Availability: > The GigaBash: Ultraman Zero DLC is set to launch officially on July 10 at 11am GMT+8. It will be available across all major platforms, including PC, Xbox, PlayStation 4/5, and Nintendo Switch.

    Whether you’re looking to defend the galaxy or conquer it with a giant, kaiju-infused staff, this character pack is shaping up to be an absolute must-have for the GigaBash community.

    Are you team Zero or team Belial? Let us know in the comments below!

  • GigaBash: Final Ascension – The Ultimate Kaiju Evolution Is Here

    GigaBash: Final Ascension – The Ultimate Kaiju Evolution Is Here

    Since its launch, GigaBash has been the go-to arena for anyone who spent their childhood (or adulthood) dreaming of flattening a skyscraper as a radioactive lizard. But while the guest appearances from Godzilla, Ultraman, and Gamera have been legendary, developers Passion Republic Games are turning the spotlight back onto their own lore with the most ambitious expansion yet: the Final Ascension DLC.

    Releasing on March 26, 2026, this isn’t just another character pack. It’s a massive narrative and mechanical expansion that bridges the gap between the game’s original heroes and the cosmic chaos that has been brewing in the background.

    The New Heavyweights: Gaya Gigaman vs. Zargorah

    The heart of Final Ascension lies in two “evolved” forms of fan-favourite concepts. These aren’t just skins; they are top-tier Apex Titans with entirely unique movesets.

    Gaya Gigaman: Think of him as the “Champion of Justice” reborn. This isn’t the out-of-shape Gigaman we met in the base game. Burning with an azure flame, Gaya Gigaman is a high-speed brawler who can sacrifice his own lifeforce to deliver devastating spirit-infused combos.

    Zargorah: The harbinger of doomsday. A terrifying mix of the primal Rawa and the cosmic Balzarr, Zargorah is designed for pure destruction. He controls the air and the ground, using apocalypse lasers and raking claws to remind everyone why he’s considered an “Apex Titan.”

    What’s Included in the Expansion?

    Passion Republic Games isn’t skimping on the content here. Beyond the two new titans, players are getting a significant boost to the overall experience:

    Why This Matters for GigaBash Fans

    For a long time, the community wondered how the original GigaBash roster would hold up against the massive power creep of licensed icons like Destoroyah or King Ghidorah. Final Ascension is the answer. By introducing these “Ascended” forms, the developers are ensuring that the game’s original universe remains the focal point of the competitive meta.

    “One brings justice, the other brings destruction, but they are both bringing the heat!” — Passion Republic Games

    The addition of a new Story Mode chapter is particularly exciting. It promises to dive into the “Siberian mystery” teased in earlier updates, finally explaining the origins of the Giga Energy that fuels these transformations.

    Final Verdict: Is It Worth It?

    If you’ve been looking for a reason to jump back into the arena, this is it. The DLC is set to drop at 8 PM PDT on March 26th. Whether you’re a local couch-play veteran or an online competitive climber, the sheer scale of Zargorah alone is worth the entry fee.
