Call of Duty: Warzone gets a Godzilla vs. King Kong event

Call of Duty: Warzone is getting a massive new event from May 11-25. In Operation Monarch, players will need to survive a war against Godzilla and King Kong — yes, this is a tie in to the Godzilla vs. Kong movie that came out over a year ago. Players will be rewarded for their efforts with a variety of monster-themed merchandise, including a gun blueprint.

Operation Monarch’s main mode will be a variant on the Resurgence game mode and players will group up with three other friends in four person squads. All 60 players will then get dropped into a cornered-off section of the Caldera map and need to survive longer than any other squad — the typical way teams win Warzone.

But Operation Monarch has a catch. There are two big catches. The kings of monsters, Godzilla and King Kong, are also on the map. For extra information, players can do damage or call them in to get super kill streaks. They’ll fight back, but will be mostly docile for most of the match — “most” being the operative word here.

At a certain point in every match, (the beginning of the match and another unspecified time), Godzilla or Kong will unleash their fury upon players. The monsters will attack more vigorously and actively try to kill anyone around them. These situations are open to both players who can fight and run. However, the player with the highest damage will be awarded a killstreak that allows them to heat ray or ground pound an area they choose.

In Operation Monarch, players will receive some awards just from playing with friends, but they’ll need to spend extra cash on cosmetic bundles if they want all the monster-themed goodies. By completing all eight of the game’s challenges, players will earn the special “Ancient Rivalry” Marksman Rifle blueprint.

All of the rewards, and the bundles for King Kong, Godzilla, and Mechagodzilla will be available until May 25 when the Titans go back into hiding and the event disappears.
