KAIJU NO. 8 THE GAME has launched Round 2 of its Half Anniversary campaign, introducing a new 5-Star unit, [Scorching Variant] Kaiju No. 8, alongside login rewards and limited paid gacha events.
As part of the Half Anniversary Login Bonus Round 2, players can receive up to 10 Pickup Gacha Tickets, Dimensional Crystals, and additional in-game items during the campaign period. Specific distribution details are available in-game.
The main addition is the 5-Star [Scorching Variant] Kaiju No. 8, a parallel-world form of the protagonist. According to the in-game description, the character appears in a Dubai setting, absorbs a vortex of power, and transforms into a heat-infused version of Kaiju No. 8. A pickup character trailer for the new form has also been released, along with official character art.
