Trivia
- This game marks the first Godzilla collaboration with a video game in the form of DLC, not a limited-time event.
- The initial release date for the Godzilla DLC, December 9, coincides with the release day of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, with the characters it unlocks including Burning Godzilla (as part of Godzilla's S-Class form) and Destoroyah.
- The DLC was released one day early on December 6th due to the fact Passion Republic Studios originates in a Asian timezone so when it was Decemeber 7th for Japan, the DLC was released to the rest of the world early
- When Kiryu uses his ultimate move, an outline of the 1954 Godzilla can be briefly seen.
- Gigan's block special teleports him behind the enemy, an ability previously seen in Atari and Pipeworks games, specifically Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and its sequel.
- One of Gigan's taunts completely recreates the intro animation from the aforementioned games, as well as the PlayStation 2 version of Godzilla: Unleashed.
- One of Rawa's taunts is a reference to Godzilla's shē dance in Invasion of Astro-Monster. Godzilla can perform this dance as a taunt as well. Godzilla's dance was created with motion capture, while Rawa's was not due to COVID-19 restrictions earlier in the game's development.[5]
- Destoroyah's biography erroneously calls Godzilla Junior "Babygodzilla", which solely describes the character's form from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II.
- Gigan's model possesses nostrils, although these were absent from the original Showa design it is based on.
- Gigan's alternate skin is patterned after his appearance in Godzilla Final Wars, and his laser beam is based on Gigarium Cluster from this film.
