Godzilla

Godzilla-0.0 is the center of the current cycle. Takashi Yamazaki returns as director, screenwriter, and VFX supervisor for the sequel, set in 1949, two years after Godzilla Minus One, with Min Tanaka joining returning cast Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, and Hidetaka Yoshioka. The film opened in Japan on November 3, Godzilla Day, and in North America on November 6. IMAX screenings in Japan carry a custom countdown in which a blue-lit 6 and a crushed 4 give way to the IMAX logo as Godzilla emerges from a split sea, and overseas screenings are planned to roll out sequentially. The film's early merchandising runs through a ha|za|ma shoe collaboration with golden King Ghidorah-style wings on the heel, a Hasegawa 1/72 Type 2 Large Flying Boat (Kai) kit in its January 2027 lineup, and Plex's Toho 30cm Series figure at 38,500 yen.

The remaster of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee also lands in this window. Atari released it on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on November 3, developed by Pipeworks Studios, the original developer. It keeps the 2002 game's twelve monsters and eight stages and adds online multiplayer. Its Steam page was blocked in Japan and later opened there, and Atari confirmed an official Japanese release with console versions after an earlier belief that it would skip Japan. One review notes the controls are responsive but shallow and the balance as lopsided as before. A weekly Japan release calendar lists a HOT! edition for Switch 2 on November 5.

Older films keep generating product. Bandai and Plex are running figure lines across the back catalog: Greatsaurus soft vinyl with the footprint mold stamped on the soles, MSS Godzilla EX figures including the 1962 suit and glow-in-the-dark Terror of Mechagodzilla kaiju, CAPSULEVERSE gashapon debuting with four figures from 1954, 1974, and 2023, and Benelic's Shaky! bobbleheads covering 1964 through 2023. A Legacy Art statue of Noriyoshi Ohrai's Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah poster art costs 472,890 yen and ships in January 2028. Outside figures, Katherine Locke wrote the picture book Godzilla Stomp, and Godzilla content appears as collaboration DLC in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds and bundled into Dave the Diver Complete Edition.
