KAIJU NO. 8 THE GAME Releases New Chapter and Character for Anniversary

On September 1, 2026, the popular mobile game KAIJU NO. 8 THE GAME celebrated its 1st Anniversary with the release of Main Story Part 2 Chapter 1, "A New Threat," and the debut of a new playable character, Iharu Furuhashi, in his custom-built CLOZER suit. This update marks a significant milestone for the game, as it introduces a new threat and expands the player's roster of Kaiju-fighting heroes.

The new chapter, "A New Threat," picks up where the previous story left off. Following a harrowing encounter with Dimensional Identified Kaiju A, the surviving characters, including Kafka and Suited, experience a brief respite. However, data extracted from Kaiju A's remains reveals a far more ominous entity: Dimensional Identified Kaiju D. This mysterious Kaiju is described as wielding unfathomable power and poses an immediate threat to the power of Kaiju No. 8. With the stakes higher than ever, Kafka, Iharu, and Suited embark on a high-stakes mission through an Artificial Dimensional Gate, venturing into the vast multiverse to confront the looming danger.

Iharu Furuhashi, a new ★5 character, joins the game as part of the anniversary celebration. Wearing his newly designed CLOZER suit, which was developed from samples of Dimensional Identified Kaiju A, Iharu is equipped with an upgraded set of abilities to aid his allies. The game introduces Iharu with a trailer titled "[Flash-Fierce Talent] Iharu Furuhashi," offering players a glimpse into his capabilities and the unique challenges he brings to the battlefield.
