Publisher Atari and developer Pipeworks Studio have announced Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered, a new remaster of the beloved 2000s kaiju battle game.
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is in development for Windows PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PS5 with a release set for November 3rd.
“There is a real sense of responsibility that comes with working on Godzilla, especially with a fan-favorite title like Destroy All Monsters Melee,” said Mike Mika, Chief Creative Officer of Atari in a press release. “It is only natural that Atari, as the original publisher in 2002, would partner with Pipeworks, the original developer and kaiju experts to bring their creation back to center stage – bigger, better and more destructive than ever.”
Here’s a rundown on the new remaster, plus its reveal trailer:
The ultimate kaiju arena brawler is back, completely remastered. From Atari and original developer, Pipeworks, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered updates the 2002 fighter with enhanced visuals and quality of life improvements. Choose your monster and battle it out with a range of brutal attacks through 8 locations, each with day and night variations. Battle through real-world cities, Monster Island, and the alien Mothership. Face off against your friends in local co-op or new online multiplayer.
Master your skills in cinematic kaiju vs. kaiju battles through familiar cities. Every monster has a distinctive moveset that makes each brawl unique, from vicious melee attacks to ranged energy blasts to special Rage Mode strikes. Tired of throwing punches? Why not throw a skyscraper, instead? The arenas are not just passive locations, and instead allow you to use the environment strategically in combat and even weaponize buildings and other landmarks.
The visuals throughout the game have been remastered from the ground up to enhance the cinematic experience of the original. Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered also features gameplay updates, as well as an improved unlock system, so you can unlock monsters, locations, and gallery items in any order you choose.
