IDW Games Joins the Kai-Sei Era with  Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game
Kickstarter Launches March 2026; Playtest at PAX Unplugged!

LOS ANGELES, CA (November 3, 2025) – Join G-Force to fight the greatest kaiju of all time when IDW Games releases the first-ever Godzilla Tabletop Roleplaying Game! Launching next March with a Kickstarter campaign, Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game, reunites three Warhammer gaming legends – Jervis Johnson, Mark A. Latham, and Gav Thorpe for their first co-created tabletop game! Godzilla puts a team of players in the midst of kaiju attacks with character sheets, collaboration, and playing cards as their tools to defend humanity. This unique new game system uses standard 52-card decks, rather than dice. Fans can sign up for more information on IDW Games HERE.
​
“When IDW first approached me about working on a role-playing game system, I was cautious until I found out that the game would be based on their fantastic Godzilla comics — at which point I immediately said "Yes please, count me in!" Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game is the first time I've had a chance to help design a fully-fledged RPG, and doing so with Gav and Mark and the IDW creative team has been a fantastic experience. I am really pleased with the way that the game system has come together, especially the way that using cards instead of dice has allowed us to include a number of novel game mechanics in the game system,” shares co-creator Jervis Johnson (Warhammer). “I've had a soft-spot for Godzilla ever since I was about eight years old and my mum took me to see Son of Godzilla. I liked it so much I made her stay at the cinema so I could watch the film a second time! As you can imagine, this means that getting to work on the Godzilla roleplaying game is a childhood dream come true for me.”
 
“Working on a Godzilla RPG is something of a dream come true – and the fact that I get to team up with Jervis Johnson and Gav Thorpe again feels like getting the band back Together!” says co-creator Mark A. Latham (Warhammer, The Walking Dead, Harry Potter). “It’s really exciting to have total freedom in developing a new system: something that really fits with the G-Force era of Godzilla stories, and truly encourages immersive storytelling and character-driven narrative. I think players and DMs alike are going to be very surprised by this game.”
 
“As a fan of RPGs over four decades it’s a privilege to work on a setting as iconic as Godzilla — one of the most recognisable characters worldwide! It’s been a great experience working with Jervis and Mark to bring to life our ideas for the IDW roleplaying system, and the Godzilla game, says co-creator Gav Thorpe(Warhammer, Inquisitor). “It’s not often that, as a designer, one gets the opportunity to build something completely from the ground up. It’s our intent to make something foundational that adds to the canon of game systems but more importantly is fun, intuitive and rewards player teamwork.”
 
The Godzilla RPG Kickstarter campaign will be a 30-day pledge launching early 2026, and will feature limited edition tiers with expected fulfillment by fall 2026.
 
IDW Games will host Playtests at PAX Unplugged (November 21-23, 2025) in Philadelphia. Players who participate will receive exclusive player previews and merchandise. IDW Games will also have a selection of the Godzilla RPG merchandise exclusively available at PAX, including Beanies, Playmats, Notebooks, Pins, Koozies, Playing Cards, Totes, and more. 
 
Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game is the first new release from IDW Games in more than 5 years with plans for other licensed properties to expand their game line. Recently Hunters Entertainment announced the Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees - A Storytelling Game Kickstarter campaign meeting their initial goal in less than 72 hours. Backers can still sign up for the campaign and its exclusive products. IDW Games plan to continue future game development via Kickstarter giving brand-devoted fans an opportunity to have something exclusive.

The rematch of Jacen and Godzilla starts here!
In one corner, we have the meanest and greenest King of the Monsters the world has ever seen. In the other, we have the boy who wields the fire of Godzilla. Who will prevail?

After attacking Atlanta, Godzilla seemingly disappeared into the Earth below. While half of G-Force goes searching for the origins of the synthetic leech kaiju Yacumama, the other half is going Godzilla hunting. But will Rumi’s technique be enough for Jacen to take down the King of the Monsters?
