by

  • Kaiju No. 8 The Game has surpassed 500k pre-registrations
  • It’s also unveiled a new gacha image and preview video for fan-favourite Gen Arumi
  • There’s new pre-reg rewards already slated with top additional characters

After the suspension of ARPG (Action Role-Playing Game) Tribe Nine, it’s reasonable to question what Akatsuki Games have planned given such a significant shutdown. However, if the buzz surrounding Kaiju No. 8 is any sign, their forthcoming adaptation of Naoya Matsumoto’s popular manga series could potentially be their next major triumph.

With over 500,000 pre-registrations, the game “Kaiju No. 8” follows the popular Shonen Jump series. In a world where colossal monsters pose a constant threat, Japan’s Defense Force is tasked with protecting its people. However, an ordinary soldier unexpectedly discovers he can transform into one of these titular Kaijus, altering the course of events.

Just as anticipated, Kaiju No. 8 The Game is set to align with the main series’ narrative, incorporating occasional modifications like new characters. However, enthusiasts of the original cast will be thrilled to discover a fresh illustration of First Division captain Gen Arumi joining the roster, complete with his own teaser video!

But, of course, there’s also the more important news of what exactly you’re getting with the latest milestone rewards. Well, we’ve already got the four-star [Aiming for Greater Heights] Mina Ashiro set for distribution at launch, but the next milestone (available at 850k pre-registrations) has also been unlocked with the four-star [Blade Specialist] Soshiro Hoshina.

Featuring the original voice actors and authentic art style reminiscent of the series, it’s a certainty that fans of Kaiju No. 8 eagerly anticipate this upcoming release. However, we’re curious if it will appeal to a broader gaming audience. Time will tell.

In the interim, although the term “gacha” may be viewed negatively by some, there are still numerous excellent examples. If you’re curious about whether they can change this perception, why not explore our compiled lists of the top 25 best gacha games for both iOS and Android devices?
