Bandai Namco and Koei Tecmo announced Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher releases October 20 for Nintendo Switch.
The release date is set for Japan and Southeast Asia. The Southeast Asia version supports English, and the western release will likely coincide with the Japan and Asia releases.
First-print copies of the game include the kaiju “Sevenger Giant of Light Skin.” Additionally, digital copies of Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher for Switch include a kaiju-raising items set. The item set should provide a head start for new players.
Check out the new trailer below, via Bandai Namco:
In ULTRA KAIJU MONSTER RANCHER, players take on the role of an up-and-coming rancher to breed, befriend and train Ultra Kaiju for competition. The game features more than 200 kinds of Kaiju from the Ultraman series to collect via the Song Search function to play songs. Kaiju can also be generated using NFC-enabled devices or items such as transport ID cards. Players can also combine or synthesize monsters to create all-new-looking Kaiju. In addition to enjoying unique movements from Ultra Kaiju not typically seen in past works, ULTRA KAIJU MONSTER RANCHER sets the stage for epic clashes of monstrous proportions reminiscent of classic Ultraman bouts.
