Godzilla Melee Remastered brings 12 kaiju to PS5

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is set for a November 3 PS5 release. PlayStation's November 2 fighter guide introduced its 12-monster roster ahead of release, with advice for players facing their first kaiju brawl.

Choosing a first monster

The guide presents Heisei Godzilla as an accessible starting point thanks to balanced attributes and generous health. His slower charged attacks still leave openings, making timing and distance important even with a familiar character.

Cities become part of combat

The official store listing describes a remaster of the 2002 arena fighter from Atari and original developer Pipeworks. Eight locations include cities, Monster Island and an alien mothership, with day and night variations changing their presentation.

Buildings are more than background scenery: players can use the environment as a weapon alongside melee combinations, energy attacks and special Rage moves.

The edition also changes progression. Its unlock system lets players choose the order in which they obtain monsters, locations and gallery material, and it adds individual single-player campaigns for the kaiju. Local play supports up to four people, while online multiplayer is an additional option requiring PlayStation Plus on PS5.

For a group sharing a screen, that distinction keeps the basic pitch straightforward: choose different monsters and turn a city into a fighting arena.
