What a Godzilla game needs and has been present in successful titles in the franchise’s foray into gaming in the past is a whole playable roster of iconic kaiju spanning the multiple eras of the franchise. From the lengthy Shōwa era spanning from 1954 to 1975 to the darker Heisei era from the ’80s and ’90s and subsequent reinventions of the character with the Millennium and Reiwa eras, there is a lot of Godzilla history that can be celebrated in a new game. Past Godzilla games have featured multiple iterations of the King of Monsters, while adding favorites like MechaGodzilla, Biollante, and Jet Jaguar, and this tradition should be maintained.
