November 3rd has once again come and gone. Similar to last year, a host of merchandise and other media has been revealed to commemorate the occasion. Some of the most noteworthy news can be found below!
Fest Godzilla 5: All Monsters Showdown
Available for a limited time like the previous live-action shorts, this latest bout has Godzilla and Jet Jaguar facing off against a malevolent King Ghidorah. A Blu-ray release with all 5 Fest Godzilla live-action shorts will also be released on April 16th, 2025 via the Japanese Godzilla Store. Currently, the short movie can only be viewed during the segment where it appeared during the livestream (5:25:12).
Godzilla Battle Line x GEMSTONE x Gamera vs. Gyaos
Gigan Rex from the online short movie Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex (2022) is set to appear as a future unit in Godzilla Battle Line. It is aided by Gigan Miles during battle. In addition, a special Gamera vs. Gyaos (1967)-themed collaboration featuring the titular incarnations of Gamera and Gyaos will be appearing next season with Gigan Rex starting November 5th. Gamera is capable of applying one attack nullification on nearby 3-star and lower units when attacking, while Gyaos performs differently depending on if the stage is the daytime or nighttime version. The Godzilla Fest 2024 livestream demonstrated all three monsters in action, though the battle was short-lived.
