During Godzilla’s 70th anniversary livestream, Toho revealed an unexpected crossover with a Godzilla x Digimon COLOR Virtual Pet device is in development. The collaboration brings together the King of the Monsters with Bandai’s beloved digital monster franchise.
The announcement was accompanied by striking key art featuring what appears to be a fusion between Godzilla and the Agumon evolution line, showcasing a fearsome design complete with metallic claws. While specific details about the virtual pet’s features remain under wraps, the teaser also hinted at a mysterious collaboration monster that will be part of the device.
This partnership is part of Godzilla’s broader 70th anniversary celebrations, which kicked off following the kaiju’s first appearance on November 3, 1954. The crossover represents a unique venture for both franchises, marking one of Godzilla’s rare forays into anime-related properties.
The announcements align with Toho’s broader expansion strategies, including the establishment of Toho Entertainment Asia (TEA) in Singapore, which began operations on November 1. This move is part of the company’s “TOHO VISION 2032” initiative, aimed at strengthening their international presence and IP development.
Moreover, the Godzilla x Digimon Color Virtual Pet will give fans the opportunity to explore how the legendary kaiju fits into the Digital World, adding an exciting new chapter to Godzilla’s growing legacy as the franchise enters its seventh decade.
