Kaiju No. 8 Game Arrives This Month

• Kaiju No. 8 The Game is confirmed for release on August 31st.
• Pre-registration remains open, offering exclusive characters as a reward for reaching one million sign-ups.
• The game is based on the popular manga and anime series created by Naoya Matsumoto.

For dedicated fans of the Kaiju No. 8 series, the upcoming mobile game adaptation has undoubtedly been a highly anticipated title. The exciting news is that a firm release date has now been set for August 31st, accompanied by a brand-new trailer.

Kaiju No. 8 The Game brings Naoya Matsumoto's acclaimed manga to life, chronicling the Japanese Defence Force's struggle against colossal monsters. The story centers on an ordinary member who awakens formidable new abilities, powers that could either save the world or lead to its ruin.

The new trailer introduces original characters joining the mobile adaptation's Special Unit CLOZER, including Chester Lochburn, Suited, and the unit's leader, Sagan Shinomiya. A completely new narrative is being developed for the game, ensuring it offers more than just a rehashing of the original plot.

Significant interest is clearly building, with over 850,000 players already pre-registered to secure in-game rewards. Exclusive four-star and five-star characters are unlocked upon reaching one million pre-registrations. While anime adaptations can be unpredictable, the fan excitement for Kaiju No. 8 is evident.

On a personal note, I am curious to see the final product. However, I understand if some fans are cautious, especially since Akatsuki Games, one of the three developers involved, seemingly discontinued the cult favorite Tribe Nine earlier this year. Will Kaiju No. 8 face a similar fate? We certainly hope not, so be sure to look for it when it launches on August 31st!
