Toho announces plans for a Godzilla video game

In the past couple years, we’ve seen the famous Kaiju Godzilla feature in multiple video game projects from Call of Duty to Dave the Diver. Despite this, there has not been a dedicated Godzilla game in years. That said, the IP owners (Toho) have now announced plans for a dedicated console title.

In a report by Bloomberg (and collated by the fansite Godzilla-Movies), IP owner Toho announced a number of new projects set in the Godzilla universe planned to release over the coming years.

Of course, there will be new films, anime, merch and more, but by far the most interesting revelation was in the announcement of their intentions to release a dedicated game for home consoles – something which we have not seen since 2014’s critically-panned Godzilla for PS3/4.

Despite his presence throughout the entire history of video games, Godzilla has yet to receive a proper dedicated video game which offers more than the surface-level destruction that projects of its ilk typically resort to.

Of course, with nothing else to go off of, it’s far too early to make any guesses about what exactly the game will entail – and just as importantly which studio will be developing it.
