Now, under Toho Games, a trio of new Godzilla mobile games are coming just in time for Godzilla vs. Kong (2021). This includes Run Godzilla, available now except in Japan, along with Godzilla Battle Line and Godzilla Destruction. Dates are still loose, but the latter two are available in “select countries” next month and worldwide either in April or May with dates subject to change.

April 27th update
Godzilla Destruction has its worldwide release today. To celebrate, Toho has issued a “how to play” video that is seen below.
April 17th update
More news for Godzilla Battle Line, although still not a date beyond May worldwide and select countries this month. What was released was a new trailer for the game and a promo image, seen below.
The promo image shows SpaceGodzilla, Hedorah (Showa), Gigan (Showa) and Rodan (Heisei) that were previously unseen.
Meanwhile the trailer shows Battra (Imago) as well, while the website showcases the larval form. That said, none of this is particularly surprising given these characters are all very popular and the game has shown to include stuff as obscure as the Radioactive Sonde from Son of Godzilla (1967).
In other news, pre-registration for the game is now open. Below are the details provided to us by Toho on this.

March 25th update
Below are details for the three announced mobile titles.
Godzilla Battle Line
Release (subject to change): April in “select countries”, May worldwide
This mobile game focuses on building teams to fight in three minute battle sessions. The released description notes fighting other players, and it’s unclear if battles against computer players occur. While details are mum, the screenshot below places a great importance on the health bar of the first character, possible linking their defeat as the condition for victory. The site mentions that monsters move and fight on their own. Winning allows the player to get a map to visit Monster Island and discover (aka get) monsters for your team, which if you get a duplicate it levels up the monster. It’s noted that different stages will feature different terrain, hinting at influencing how the monsters fight. A monthly ranking is also noted.
Video footage and the screenshots below hint at a wealth of Toho references in the game. This includes monsters such as the Heisei series Godzilla, Rodan ’64, Minilla ’67, Anguirus ’55, Kamacuras ’67, Mechagodzilla ’93, Mothra ’92 (which appears to evolve from larva to imago), Destoroyah Aggregate and King Ghidorah ’91. A variety of weapons are shown too, including the MBAW-93 from Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992), the Markalite Cannon from The Mysterians (1957), the Dimension Tide from Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000) and even the Radioactive Sonde from Son of Godzilla (1967).

Godzilla Destruction
Release (subject to change): April in “select countries”, April worldwide
The next mobile title sees players controlling the King of the Monsters in a bid to cause mass destruction. Little is known about the game, which concept wise sounds similar to Godzilla Generations for the Dreamcast, although a health bar can be seen for Godzilla and he’s also fighting Type 93 Maser Attack Aircrafts at one point. One of the screens also shows Godzilla with King Ghidorah and another with Fire Rodan. However, text alludes to this not being a fight but likely a visual method for powering Godzilla up, noting a gatcha mechanic to getting power ups.

Run Godzilla
Release (subject to change): Now worldwide outside Japan, June Japan release
An idle game where players are in charge of a village that prays to strengthen and raise a monster. In line with the idle premise, it’s described as the monster growing stronger while the player is away from the game. A couple in game currencies are involved, with apples strengthening villagers and diamonds used to summon them. Apples are simply picked up, likely produced over time. Diamonds are produced at factories, although having too many factories will create a lot of air pollution and shorten villagers’ stamina.

Welcome to our website where you will be able to find all the Godzilla Games. First of all, I want to talk about the monster, which was originally founded in 1954. The main reason of creating the character was really simple, the crew of film producers just wanted to think of giant monster, that would be able to kill the enemies really easily. So the idea came to their mind, also everyone should definitely know that Japanese were the first ones who completed the whole story. After that character became quite popular all around the world, so everyone wanted to play the related games to the topic. So we as the team planned to make the online games website, so all the lovers of Godzilla would have a chance of playing Godzilla games at any time for free. Main plot of the games is really interesting and quite difficult for gamers because usually they play character of the monster which is attacked in public, so you should try your best to defend yourself and plus gain the points in destroying the city buildings. Sometimes in action parts of Godzilla games, you will be given a task of killing enemies which are shooting at you, just do not worry as you already know this huge monster has giant parts of the body, So be quite smart while using them for yourself. Chest and the tail are the most important ones because attack damage is quite high and almost any kind of opponent such as tanks planes could be hit with one click. What are you waiting for, just go ahead and start playing the best Godzilla games that has been ever created.
