Last year, Bandai Namco Games announced City Shrouded in Shadow: a game where you survive a giant monster attack was in development and we’ve finally been given an update thanks to Famitsu magazine with translation courtesy of Silconera.
City Shrouded in Shadow will feature characters from Ultraman, Godzilla, and Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise and while we won’t see them crossover the game will generate scenarios based on one of those series each will be generated one stage at a time. Here’s a list of who we know will be in the game thus far:
Giant Shadow 1
Ultraman
NisUltraman
Alien Zarab
Giant Shadow 2
Godzilla
King Ghidorah
Giant Shadow 3
Evangelion Unit-01
The Fourth Angel
Giant Shadow 4
Gamera
Soldier Legion
Players will be able to choose between a male or female protagonist everything from clothes, hairstyle, and even job title can be changed. The game will also have multiple dialogue choices, some of which can affect your relationship with your significant other.
While no solid release date was given as of yet, we do know that the game is currently 75% completed and will come out Fall 2017 in Japan for PS4 and PS3 consoles The Vita version has sadly been reported as canceled.
Our latest offering from the Godzilla VS Neon Genesis Evangelion cross-promotion comes from Sentinel’s Riobot series, and it’s perhaps one of the most unique offerings thus far.
Riobot NERV vs. G Kessen Heiki “Shiryu” Prototype Unit appears to be a completely original design, a designer’s interpretation of what an anti-Kaiju EVA machine would look like.
The Riobot NERV vs. G Kessen Heiki “Shiryu” Prototype Unit costs a whopping 21,600 yen and is currently slated for a release of July 2017. Accessories includes alternate hands and two Anti-Kaiju battle blades.
Bandai’s Godzilla X Evangelion cross promotion line takes a turn for the bizarre with their latest piece: a vinyl figure depicting a strange fusion amalgamation of Eva Unit 1 in his Awakening Form with bits of Godzilla attached to his body.
Eva Unit 1 G Awakening Form commands a hefty cost at 32,400 yen before middleman fees and shipping but stands at a massive 38 cm x 36cm, the vinyl figure will be released in January 2017, released as a Premium Bandai exclusive.
Yet another dual tribute to Hideaki Anno’s upcoming Shin Godzilla/Godzilla Resurgence and his prolific anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion has just been revealed!
Releasing in January 2017 is S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla Feat. EVA-01! Similar in nature to the recently revealed Mecha Godzilla Eva 01 Version vinyl, this figure is a cross promotion for the upcoming theatrical release of Shin Godzilla. This particular release is based on the Godzilla 1994 monsterart which is pretty cool considering the following year is when Evangelion premiered. This version of Godzilla is done up in iconic Eva Unit 01 color scheme which oddly gives him the appearance of wearing a green bikini. (Try unseeing that!)
S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla Feat. EVA-01 will be released as a Tamashii Web Exclusive for 9936 yen.
