GODZILLA AND KONG TO FIGHT FOR SUPREMACY IN WORLD OF WARSHIPS

Infamous super-sized foes, Godzilla and Kong, are set to battle it out on the high seas in World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends. 

The titanic event is thanks to an exclusive, time-limited collaboration between Wargaming, Legendary Entertainment, and Toho Co, Ltd, and follows the release of Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ epic action adventure movie Godzilla vs. Kong. 

Godzilla and Kong will be featured onboard their individual ships, and be available as playable commanders. Additionally, movie-themed camouflages, patches, flags and more will be available in game during the promotion, which will start later in May.  

In World of Warships, Japanese battleship Amagi, weighing in at 41,217 tons, will represent Team Gozilla, while the battleship USS North Carolina, weighing in at 37,484 tons, will represent Team Kong. Both teams will come with unique movie-inspired permanent camouflages, and their own consumable camouflages, patches, flags, and more.

On the console side, World of Warship: Legends players who choose Godzilla will have a unique battleship by the name of Heat Ray while Kong fans will have a great counterpart in Primal, a battleship representing the creature’s might. All that will be offered together with the accompanying commanders, consumable camouflages, patches, flags and more.

“Nearly 60 years ago, King Kong and Godzilla first faced each other on the big screen in Japan, and since then the rivalry of these mythical creatures has captured the imagination of millions around the world,” said Aleksandr Nikolaev, Senior Publishing Producer from Wargaming. “World of Warships is always searching for new and exciting content our players would appreciate and we are delighted to share with them our vision of this legendary titans clash.”

“Wargaming is the perfect partner to allow fans to jump into the action and take part in the long-awaited showdown between these two massive Titans,” said Sam Rappaport, Director of Interactive Media at Legendary Entertainment. “Through this collaboration, fans will be able to experience the immense size and scale of the movie through this epic clash of Team Godzilla and Team Kong battleships.”

Godzilla vs. Kong is in theaters internationally and, as of March 31, in U.S. theaters and on HBO Max for 31 days from theatrical release.

Come on, we all know Godzilla would be Kong in real life, but its an American movie, so Kong will obviously win. Still, Wargaming is really demonstrating how gaming and other entertainment forms are now incredibly intertwined, and we’re sure this will be a massive hit with WoW fans. 

Staying with Wargaming, earlier this week, we reported the company had awarded London-based agency The Kit Factory a media planning and buying contract for its World of Tanks game.
