Godzilla and King Ghidorah
The king of all kaiju headlines the roster for City Shrouded in Shadow, along with Godzilla himself. This imposing lizard needs little introduction, as he’s one of the most famous monsters in all of history. This version of Godzilla, however, originates from the 1991 film Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, which brought a showdown with the lizard’s greatest foe. We know that Godzilla will be facing down the giant three-headed terror in Tokyo, but we don’t know how much story from the film will actually make it into the game.
In this case, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah features a crazy plot involving time travel, secret experiments, and the origins of both Godzilla and Ghidorah. In the film, humans come from the future, known as Futurians, to modern day Japan. They introduce a book to Japanese journalist named Teresawa called The Birth of Godzilla, which he’ll write in the future. It turns out Godzilla evolves from a dinosaur named Godzillasaurus, which was mutated by nuclear radiation from World War II. At the same time we also find out that King Ghidorah comes from genetically engineered creatures known as Dorats, who were also mutated by radiation. Ghidorah was then turned into a controlled weapon of destruction to stop Japan from turning into the corrupt superpower it would in the future. We told you the plot of this film was crazy.
There are few Godzilla battles more epic than when he faces down King Ghidorah, and there isn’t a more iconic pair you could get for City Shrouded in Shadow.
