Dawn of the Monsters secures March release date
Publisher WayForward and developer 13AM Games have nailed down a final release date for Dawn of the Monsters, their co-op beat ’em up game. The initial digital release is planned for March 15, 2022.
Dawn of the Monsters was first confirmed for Switch in October 2020. It was initially lined up for late 2021, but was eventually delayed. We did have a new March release window last month, but not an actual date.
The cataclysmic battle between giant monsters has begun in this manga-inspired, side-scrolling, kaiju beat-’em-up! Titanic creatures known as Nephilim have invaded Earth, and the only hope of stopping them is DAWN (Defense Alliance Worldwide Network), which unleashes its own colossal combatants to defend against the enemy hordes! Take control of four hulking behemoths – Megadon, Aegis Prime, Tempest Galahad, and Ganira – each with distinct abilities and play styles, and smash your way through destructible real-world environments spanning more than 35 missions! Power up with DNA augments, crush foes with devastating Rage moves and brutal finishers, and team up with a friend for 2-player co-op action! You are the planet’s last line of defense…but will that be enough for mankind to survive the Dawn of the Monsters!?
