The initial trailer confirmed that Ryûnosuke Kamiki and Minami Hamabe will reprise their roles as Kôichi Shikishima and Noriko Ôishi, respectively. It also hinted at Godzilla’s increased size, his presence in New York, and the inclusion of a potentially new Kaiju. Further, it takes place two years after the event of Godzilla Minus One.

Lastly, the Steam page describes the game as follows:

The ultimate kaiju arena brawler is back, completely remastered. From Atari and original developer, Pipeworks, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered updates the 2002 fighter with enhanced visuals and quality of life improvements. Choose your monster and battle it out with a range of brutal attacks through 8 locations, each with day and night variations. Battle through real-world cities, Monster Island, and the alien Mothership. Face off against your friends in local co-op or new online multiplayer.

Master your skills in cinematic kaiju vs. kaiju battles through familiar cities. Every monster has a distinctive moveset that makes each brawl unique, from vicious melee attacks to ranged energy blasts to special Rage Mode strikes. Tired of throwing punches? Why not throw a skyscraper, instead? The arenas are not just passive locations, and instead allow you to use the environment strategically in combat and even weaponize buildings and other landmarks.
