Kaiju No. 8 The Game: 1st Anniversary Celebration

The thrilling world of Kaiju No. 8 The Game is celebrating its first anniversary! One of the key highlights of this milestone is the exciting launch of the main story's second chapter, titled "A New Threat." This chapter elevates the stakes, introducing players to new adventures and challenges. Additionally, fans can eagerly anticipate the introduction of a highly-anticipated ★5 character, Iharu Kobayashi, clad in a newly revamped CLOZER suit.

New Chapter Unfolds: A New Threat

The recently released second part of the main story kicks off with the chapter "A New Threat." Following an intense battle against the dimension-identifying Kaiju A, peace is momentarily restored. However, the remnants of Kaiju A signal the emergence of an even greater vile force: Dimension-Identifying Kaiju D. This terrifying entity seeks to reclaim its lost power, targeting not only A's remains but also the strength of Kaiju No. 8 itself.

To confront this new adversary, characters Kafka Hibino, Iharu Kobayashi, and Suted have taken action. They embark on a daring mission using a clandestinely developed Artificial Dimensional Gate, journeying across parallel worlds to fend off the impending doom. The unpredictable main storyline of the second chapter promises to keep players captivated as they navigate this enthralling narrative.

Meet the New ★5 Character: Iharu Kobayashi

Starting September 1, 2026, players will have the chance to recruit the brand new ★5 character, Iharu Kobayashi, who wears a unique CLOZER suit. This suit has been enhanced using specimens from the dimension-identifying Kaiju A, displaying a design tailored specifically for Iharu. With this upgrade, Iharu gains newfound strength, allowing him to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with his comrades in the fight against the unknown in parallel worlds.
