And wait, what? Did I miss an announcement or is the Giga Man thing a prediction? O:
PRG confirmed that they'll be at TGS during the final installment in the Gormaru interview trilogy. I think it's fair to say Giga Man will be there.
Omg woah. Only a month from now too, that's awesome!!
Seems like GigaBash promotion is in full force, doesn't it?

Yeah seriously! They mentioned in the interview as well that their Indie Arena Booth Online's gonna have some little bits of content in there so I'll tune into it when it opens!

Hm so 2021 launch. 5 more characters to be revealed alongside at least 8 stages (I believe there was a new stage in the trailer at the end during Skorak's ultimate), I imagine the pace for content reveals should be pretty nice!

EDIT: Oh btw, in their Discord they said they're looking into having a beta before launch, though are still considering if it will be closed or public.

After watching the short gameplay videos they uploaded, I can say that I'm in love with that mid-air spinning attack.

Considering Sern liked one of your first threads, there's not a shadow of a doubt that that was intentional. Congrats!

Holy crap, they just called Skorak a snailian.

I'm watching the Skorak podcast and this theory may be right.

Hey! Sorry been on other social media and a little busy as well, WOW WHAT A WEEKEND.

New stages were shown as you noticed from my tweet in the IGN Walkthrough! Speaking of which, that has quickly become the most viewed GigaBash video, and it's growing very well! The reception to the game's great as well, honestly it's refreshing to see many non-kaiju fans appreciation for the game. I feel many kaiju fans might not see how amazingly the gameplay formula has been done in GigaBash, but rather just focus on the kaiju designs/content. Seeing so many people talk about how awesome the gameplay itself looks is really sweet, many Power Stone fans as well!

So wow. Also, in GigaBash's indie arena booth online, a person said Skorak is worshipped ever since defeating Lord Dragon, which is likely the skull on Skorak's back. Would be awesome if Lord Dragon were playable, even as DLC one day if they don't plan for them to be at launch.

So yeah! New stages shown a glimpse of seemed to be Tokyo Night, Russia, and like, an alternate form of Russia stage? I noticed the canyon-esc stage had a metal Pipijuras statue head, implying that's prolly Pipijuras' home.

The twitch tournament is what I'm gonna go back and watch quite a bit. I gotta analyze the gameplay more! Some bugs but to be expected.

I think that canyon stage is the Area 51 stage shown in the stage select screen.

Yup def think you're right! Maybe they knew their Pax East build leaked some stages and just decided to show them off lolol, either way they look amazing!!!

I really like the aesthetic for this game its a blend of classic Kaiju genre elements with their own take. You can have monsters that take heavy inspiration from the Showa Era and monsters that look like a merging of all three

Its quite brilliant

Since TGS is coming up, I've decided to compile everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, we know about the next guy up:
Spoiler:
  • His name is Giga Man. [1]
  • Giga Man has green in his color palette. [1][2]
  • He is primarily inspired by Ultraman.
  • A diamond-shaped marking lays on Giga Man's chest. [3]
  • Giga Man is heroic in nature. [4]
  • He is associated with a stylized G. [5]
  • Passion Republic Games will reveal him at Tokyo Game Show

I thought the palette would be blue cuz the sign colors and stuff, but I got what you mean haha

I AM BLOWN AWAY OMG THIS TRAILER IS AMAZINGG

those new stages too!!! Nice glimpses, Tokyo Night might be my fave so far!!

I'm so excited too bc now, we're more in-the-dark than ever before! We knew Skorak and Gigaman's general designs before reveal, but with the last 4 characters, it's way more secretive and surprising than ever!!

All I know is that
Spoiler:
one is likely gonna be a plant monster (ice cream tease, similar looking plant in one of the quarantine art posts) and another will likely be crystal-themed (crystal teases in quarantine art, tweet, indie arena booth online.)
Also Lord Dragon, the monster Skorak conquered, could be playable, we'll see!
Just an amazing trailer.

Yeah, that was a pretty great trailer. I'm getting the impression that there's a lot of genuine passion and love for the genre being put into this game, and I like that.

Gigaman looks awesome! Although i'm getting some weird All Might vibes from him with how he seems to have a bad back.

Gigaman is my favorite character they've revealed so far! Glad I'm not the only one getting All Might and Mr. Incredible vibes from him hahaha, he's like a mixture of those two and Ultraman which is just plain awesome. I showed several of my friends the game trailers and they're all hyped to play it as well!

Best kaiju game ever. Like, seriously, awesome to play and full of cool little nods to the films that make it up. Ten out of ten. Worth waiting for.

Keen Fai, an artist at PRG, has been making some Heisei-esque designs for the player characters. Since some of you aren't on the GigaBash Discord, I will upload 'em here.
