The King of the Monsters is making its way to Minecraft in some brand new DLC, available on the Minecraft Marketplace.
The Godzilla DLC is out right now, and what a perfect fit for Minecraft, if we say so ourselves. The idea of the dinosaur-like kaiju stomping around the blocky world of Minecraft is genius, and that's exactly what it'll be doing. The DLC has been developed by Japanese studio Team-KYO and Impress and introduces four new gameplay modes that highlight the history of Godzilla and its films.
In the DLC, you'll need to head to the screening rooms to find four new adventures that you can tackle alone or in multiplayer. The first focuses on an escape mission, while the second is a speed-rebuild effort as you attempt to build an impassable wall around Godzilla. Mojang is keeping the rest of the missions close to its chest for now, but you don't just have to play as your blocky character, either. You can play as the Gigantis itself and destroy buildings to your heart's content.
Tons of classic kaiju will also be making appearances as enemies, so if you're a fan of the Dagon — and you should be after the excellent movie Godzilla Minus One from last year — this is a no-brainer. And that trailer up top should convince you, if not.

I didn't get to see Minus One in theaters. It's on my must watch list for when it hits digital.
Godzilla wrecking Minecraft villages? LOL! Yes, please.
I wasn’t keen on Minecraft but I want this DLC!
Minus One needs to hit streaming services already.
HOLY GOD(ZILLA) I LOVE THIS!
I love how some the Minecraft Godzilla models are based on the different suits/designs based on the films that they appeared.
Especially the one image in the article that is based on the film, "The Return of Godzilla" a.k.a Godzilla 1984. Or Godzilla 1985 if you're familiar with that U.S. version. I got the movie itself on DVD & it's kinda hard to find now...
Oh my goodness this is awesome!
It practically feels like they're now putting more effort into these paid, Bedrock exclusive packs most people don't care about than the actual free updates that come to Bedrock and Java
Didn't get the chance to see Godzilla Minus One myself. I think the last Godzilla movie I saw was the 2016 movie Shin Godzilla, which was very good, in my opinion; I highly recommend it. It was directed by Hideaki Anno (the creator of the hit manga/anime franchise Neon Genesis Evangelion), and was actually the first Godzilla movie to win the Japanese equivalent of an Academy Award, including (but not limited to) Best Picture and Best Director. It kicked off the Reiwa Era of Godzilla movies, of which Godzilla Minus One is the latest entry.
Now, as to this DLC, I don't normally do Minecraft DLC, but for this, I just might. I don't know if it will be on the Java Edition (as that is the version I usually play), but I will try to check it out. Looking at the above stills, it almost reminds me of those Godzilla tournament fighter games from the 2000s: Destroy All Monsters Melee, Save the Earth, and Unleashed. Hopefully the DLC will be like that. It's been a while since we've had a proper Godzilla game, after all (as the 2014 Godzilla game was not very good from what I saw), and this may be the closest we'll get for a while.
I remember at one point Toho was very strict with their IP, not allowing Godzilla to appear in anything outside of his own movies, but it looks like they're loosening up on that, which I think is a good thing; crossovers are fun, 'til they're overdone.
I've barely watched any Godzilla movies but still, wow is this a cool DLC for Minecraft!
@GarlicGuzzler Why would Switch not be able to run Minecraft when it already runs fine on the system? That Sonic game just sounds like it had poor optimisation but when games like Monster Hunter Rise and Zelda run perfectly on Switch, you should know it's not about hardware.
