Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024)
Rise together or fall alone.
Following their explosive showdown, Godzilla and Kong must reunite against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence – and our own.
In Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “titanic battleground”. The story fights on E6/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing power, conflict, environment, legacy, otherness.
