Kong Invades Toho’s ‘Godzilla Battle Line’ as Part of ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ Promotion
In another “no brainer” moment, Toho has announced that their recently-released mobile game Godzilla Battle Line will be receiving an epic crossover on July 1 with Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla vs. Kong. Inspired by the success of the film (and really, we can’t blame them), the “Earth’s Ultimate Showdown” event will see Kong join Godzilla Battle Line as a playable character.
Players can obtain Kong by clearing special missions or exploring Expedition Maps that can be won in ranked battles. Godzilla vs. Kong‘s Skull Island will appear as an Expedition Map at certain times of the day for a limited time during this event, allowing you to potentially face him.
After obtaining Kong, players can use him as the team leader, as well as use his “Earth Break” Special Move, which deals damage in a circular area, and increases damage dealt by allied units with an energy cost of 4+ on the battlefield by 20% for 15 seconds.
Kong is expected to be available over the next seven months, so you’ve got some time to grab him. You can also grab the Skull Island Expedition Map from the in-game shop to increase the chances of him showing up.
