WayForward CEO Voldi Way
From the moment we laid eyes on Dawn of the Monsters, we knew it had the potential to be something special 13AM Games is a phenomenal developer that has been a great collaborative partner in the past, and we are very excited to help them bring this unique vision to life.
13AM Games CEO Alex Rushdy
I’ve been a WayForward fan ever since I first got my hands on Godzilla: Domination! on the Game Boy Advance, and my passion for the work they do has only grown since then. So it’s not only very exciting but also very fitting that we are partnering up for Dawn of the Monsters. For many of us this partnership is a dream come true!
This is our biggest game to date and we’re really happy to have WayForward in our corner. Since they are traditionally a developer, they really understand all the process that goes into making a game, which has made the working relationship smooth and fruitful. We can’t wait to share our work on Dawn of the Monsters, we’re really pushing a bold, new, visceral vision of what a co-op 2D action game can be.
About DAWN OF THE MONSTERS
It takes monsters to stop monsters
Dawn of the Monsters is a couch co-op, brawling action game that takes up to four players on a worldwide tour of destruction.
Players take on roles from an all new cast of kaiju and are tasked with defeating the “Nephilim”, a horde of monsters that are destroying the planet. Conquer four unique worlds and unlock The Maw, an endless onslaught of kaiju brawls.
Featuring beautiful 2.5D graphics inspired by the works of Mike Mignola, combat inspired by classics from the action and fighting game genres, and fully destructible environments, couch co-op in Dawn of the Monsters is bigger and badder than ever before.
