For a franchise that just celebrated its 71st birthday, Godzilla still has worlds left to conquer. Movies, television, animation, comic books, and even weird old video games have all found themselves part of the King of the Monsters’ dominion. But believe it or not, as of the year of our giant monster 2025, Godzilla has not ever had his own role playing game. The end, it’s never happened and never will. Just kidding! Why would we write an article about this otherwise?! As announced via GamesRadar, IDW Games will send Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game to Kickstarter in March of 2026.
To accompany the announcement, we got a piece of artwork showing the big guy himself facing off against an iteration of G-Force including a personal favorite, robot hero Jet Jaguar. And this isn’t the only super team involved. Godzilla: The Roleplaying Game reunites three Warhammer gaming legends – Jervis Johnson, Mark A. Latham, and Gav Thorpe for their first co-created tabletop game. According to the press release, the game 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.
“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).
“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 recognizable 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. 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. Fans can sign up for more information on IDW Games HERE.
