Toho's Godzilla has stomped into Apex Legends to celebrate the theatrical run of Godzilla Minus Zero. Respawn and EA launched the Apex Legends Godzilla Event on Tuesday with 10 character skins based on kaiju and machines from across the film series, and they are giving away Godzilla-themed rewards on Twitch through November 17. Check out the official post down below:
Godzilla Films From 1974 To 2026 In One Battle Royale
EA says the skins pull "from the Godzilla series, including some deep cuts." Each one is named after a specific monster or film version:
- Pathfinder as "Mechagodzilla 1974"
- Catalyst as "Ghidorah 1991"
- Revenant as "Super Mechagodzilla 1993"
- Horizon as "Godzilla 1995"
- Mad Maggie as "Destoroyah"
- Loba as "SpaceGodzilla"
- Valkyrie as "Mothra 2003"
- Wraith as "Godzilla 2016"
- Bloodhound as "Godzilla 2026"
- Octane as "Jet Jaguar"
9 of the 10 are Iconic skins. Octane's Jet Jaguar skin is free on the event pass, while Catalyst's Ghidorah 1991 skin sits on the 950 Apex Coin Premium Track along with a Legendary "Gravity Beam" Prowler skin, an Epic P2020 skin and 2 Epic Apex Packs.
Godzilla Minus Zero In Theaters
Godzilla Minus Zero is written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, who also handled its visual effects. It opened wide across North America on Friday, November 6, as the follow-up to his 2023 film Godzilla Minus One. The official synopsis reads: "War reduced Japan to zero, and Godzilla plunged it into minus. Two years have passed since then, and the country has faced agonizing struggles to achieve recovery and finally reclaim its daily life. Just as humanity managed to cling to a hard-won peace, a new threat strikes, crushing hope in an instant. There is no third time. Everything ends here."
EA's event page notes that Godzilla has been known as the King of the Monsters since its 1954 debut, and calls Godzilla Minus One "a global hit." The release campaign for the new film included a Times Square takeover, covered in Godzilla Minus Zero Takes Over Times Square Ahead Of Godzilla Day IMAX Early Access.
What Godzilla Does On Storm Point
In the game, Godzilla has settled on Storm Point, and the map shows the damage: wrecked buildings, burnt trees and toppled signs, with Godzilla itself towering over the island. Players who head into a blast zone before Godzilla's Heat Ray strikes can find a Care Package holding a custom Devotion. EA describes the weapon as having "a devastating heat ray attack that tracks enemies on hit."
A universal melee weapon called the Dorsal Dagger, shaped like one of Godzilla's dorsal fins, can drop from Godzilla Event Packs and unlocks a matching Death Box. The films also inspired 10 Legendary weapon skins for the Devotion, Hemlock, Rampage, CAR, Havoc, Longbow, Wingman, Prowler, Spitfire and P2020.
The Godzilla Event Pass
The free track of the Godzilla Event Pass carries a tracker set, badges, Crafting Metals, Event Packs, XP and the Jet Jaguar Octane skin. Players who buy the Premium Track also get a banner frame, stickers and a second tracker set on top of the Ghidorah 1991 Catalyst skin and the weapon skins. Respawn released the first gameplay trailer on November 5 and let members of the Apex Legends Creator Hub stream the event on Monday, a day before it opened to everyone.
The Twitch Drops
From November 10 to 17, viewers with an EA account linked to Twitch can earn the Chibi Godzilla Weapon Charm by watching 30 minutes of Apex Legends streams, and the Mothra's Milestones Tracker Set by watching 60 minutes. EA's event page says the drops run with select creators, and rewards appear in-game within 24 hours of the next login.
The full event runs until December 1. Apex Legends is free to play on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC.
