GigaBash is a Kaiju brawler game developed by Passion Republic Games, a Malaysian company. It was launched for the PlayStation 4 and 5, Steam and the Epic Games Store on August 5, 2022 and later came to the Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on August 4, 2023.
The game features many original kaiju characters with different backgrounds and playstyles, as well as a paid DLC containing four characters from the Ultraman Series, which released on November 8, 2023.
The first teaser trailer for the game was unveiled at Tokyo Game Show 2019 on September 12, 2019, but was mentioned online by the developers since July 2019.
During the Tokyo Game Show of 2022, a collaboration with the Godzilla franchise was announced. It was later revealed to be paid DLC allowing players to play as Godzilla and three other kaiju from his series, and released on December 9, 2022.
On October 12, 2023, it was announced that an official collab between GigaBash and Tsuburaya was happening, another DLC with 4 characters, with a teaser using the signature swirling paint of the Ultra Q and Ultraman intro. Hours later, the first character in the DLC, Ultraman, was teased, and the following characters were teased each week leading up to the DLC's release on November 8. The DLC is not available in Japan or China due to regional differences and licensing restrictions. On the same day as the release, the game was updated to have crossplay, a replay feature, and beam clashes during battles.
A contest was held on Twitter from October 27 to November 1 where six winners who correctly guessed the Ultraman DLC's lineup would win GigaBash merchandise. The winners were announced on November 10.
