Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher dated for October in Japan and Asia, new trailer

Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher has received a final release date in Japan and Southeast Asia. It will be available on October 20, 2022, Bandai Namco revealed today.

Fans will be able to obtain the Kaiju “Sevenger Giant of Light Skin” and the Kaiju-Raising Items Set as a physical early purchase or digital pre-order bonus.

Here’s a bit of information about the game:

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.

We have a new trailer below.

Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher will be offered in North America and Europe later this year. The same release date could be planned for the west, though Bandai Namco has yet to make an official announcement.

We’ll also mention that Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher appears to be digital-only overseas, though fans will be able to import a copy from Asia which has English support. Further information can be found here.
