TOHO Games has announced the Earth's Ultimate Showdown collaboration between the blockbuster film GODZILLA VS. KONG and the mobile game "Godzilla Battle Line", just released worldwide on June 15 (Tue.).
2021 really is the year of Godzilla. In March, Toho launched its game label TOHO Games, and went on to release a series of three mobile games, "Run Godzilla", "Godzilla Destruction", and "Godzilla Battle Line". Continuing the trend, the anime series GODZILLA SINGULAR POINT began streaming worldwide on Netflix from June 24 (Thu.).
To celebrate the roaring worldwide success of the Hollywood blockbuster GODZILLA VS. KONG, a special Earth's Ultimate Showdown collaboration event will be held on the wildly successful mobile game "Godzilla Battle Line" from July 1 (Thu.).
In Part I of the collab, launching on July 1 (Thu.), Kong will step onto the battle stage as a playable monster (battle piece)! Players can obtain Kong by clearing special missions, or exploring Expedition Maps that can be won in ranked battles. And, for a limited time only, Skull Island from GODZILLA VS. KONG will appear as a battle stage at certain times of the day! Take part in the Earth's Ultimate Showdown on mobile!
A quirky commercial to celebrate the collaboration has also been released. The commercial features Masahiro Takashima, an actor who has appeared in two Godzilla films, and popular 20-year-old actress and mobile game fan Riko Fukumoto. Enjoy watching the antics of these two stars from Toho Entertainment!
■ "The Earth's Ultimate Showdown" Collab Overview
Kong from GODZILLA VS. KONG will appear as a new battle piece, and players will also be able to obtain themed titles and icons in various ways throughout the event.
Introducing the Kong Battle Piece!
Kong, as seen in the film GODZILLA VS. KONG, is set to appear as a brand new battle piece!
Kong can be obtained by clearing special missions, or exploring Expedition Maps that can be won in ranked battles. The probability of discovering Kong differs for each Expedition Map.
Kong is a heavyweight ranged attacker, who uses his stunning strength to sweep through waves of units as he advances.
In addition, when serving as the team's leader, Kong can perform a Special Move called "Earth Break", which deals damage in a circular area, and increases damage dealt by allied units with an energy cost of 4+ on the battlefield by 20% for 15 seconds.
*Kong is planned to be available for seven months only.
*Once obtained, Kong can be used even after the event period.
Special Collab Expedition Map Available In the Shop!
In the Shop, players can purchase a collab pack featuring a "Skull Island Expedition Map", which offers a greater chance of discovering Kong, and a Kong icon.
In addition, players who purchase the Premium Godzilla Pass can earn collab icons, titles, and battle pieces as premium rewards, in addition to the regular Grade rewards!
