There are quite a few selections to choose from, but keen-eyed viewers noticed a few recognizable skins among them. Colour CameosĮach playable character in Dawn of the Monsters has a selection of colour palettes you can equip to customize your kaiju. Sunrise is known primarily for their work on the Mobile Suit Gundam television series but they also produced the first ever animated Ultraman series with 1979’s The Ultraman. The Sunrise is the satellite headquarters that DAWN operates out of, which is not only a way to connect it to the organization, but also a nod to Sunrise animation studio. Jamila Senai is a simple allusion to the Ultraman kaiju Jamila, who featured in episode 23 of the original 1966 series and is the favourite episode of Hiroko Sakurai, who played Fuji in the series. Eiji is also pronounced the exact same as “A.G.” the acronym for Astro/Atomic Guy from King of the Monsters! “Aegis Prime” is pronounced “ayy-jiss Prime” instead of “ee-jiss Prime” just like the human character, as Eiji would have come up with his own superhero moniker. While that article covers the monsters well, there are a few other names worth calling out.Īmong the human cast, Eiji Murasame is not only a nod to Eiji Tsuburaya (special effects director behind Godzilla, Ultraman, etc) but also an influence on his super hero name. If you want a deep dive on the Nephilim naming conventions and secrets, I recommend you check out Unai’s in-depth article on the subject. If you’ve already beaten it, read on! What’s in a name? Not anything I think will ruin your experience with the game, but I know some people are sensitive about this stuff! So if you want your experience of Dawn of the Monsters unsullied and unspoiled, come back after you’ve played the game. I won’t be cataloguing every wink and nod in the game- just the ones I personally really enjoy or may have gone unnoticed by most.īefore we begin, I will say that we are heading somewhat into SPOILER TERRITORY. So I figured I’d dig deep and share a few with you all. Our keen-eyed fans have been able to unearth a lot of them, but they haven’t uncovered even close to everything. You see, Dawn of the Monsters is absolutely loaded with Easter eggs, references, and homages. You can check out the trailer for this one or two player co-op game here.But since the game is out and Easter is behind us, I thought I’d write a special blog post for you all. It sounds like a lot of fun and definitely reminds me of a souped-up Rampage except now you destroy a city in order to fight other monsters. Use your rage, cataclysm attacks, and executioner finishers to defeat hordes of monsters and earn DNA augmentations to power up stats and abilities. Pick your monster and then battle across the globe as part of DAWN (Defense Alliance Worldwide Network). I’ll be honest, I’m sad that two of these aren’t kaiju, but I suppose having mechs in a game like this was inevitable. Tempest Galahad: A massive mech with long range electrical attacks. Ganira: A colossal crustacean who can summon minions.Īegis Prime: A superhero with super combos. Megadon: An enormous fire breathing lizard. We now have details about the playable monsters: First up, the release date has been pushed back to the first half of 2022 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Way Forward and 13AM Games have announced new details regarding the kaiju beat ‘em up game, Dawn of the Monsters.
