Apex Legends adds a grumpy, teamwiping Godzilla to its growing history of unappealing crossovers

Apex Legends is set to introduce Godzilla, a character from the Godzilla Minus Zero, Godzilla vs. Kong, and other Godzilla films, to its crossover event starting November 10th. This decision comes despite EA's financial struggles, as the company seeks additional revenue sources. The addition of Godzilla to the game's Storm Point map will feature him using atomic breath to melt Legends, providing a unique heat ray attack for a custom Devotion LMG skin.

The skins for the other characters in the crossover will be inspired by various Godzilla movies, though their specific film origins remain unclear. While the developers have put significant effort into these crossovers, the writer expresses disappointment in the series' direction, noting that the addition of Godzilla detracts from the game's competitive nature and unique features.

The writer prefers Apex Legends' own kaiju, the Leviathans, who are more beneficial to the game as accidental killers rather than the destructive Godzilla.
