Godzilla: Oblivion was first revealed on December 15, 2015, following the end of IDW's latest miniseries, Godzilla in Hell. The series' original title was going to be Godzilla: World's End, but it was set to be changed to Godzilla: Oblivion by the series' release in March 2016.

The variant cover for issue #1 is illustrated by James Stokoe, known for his work on Godzilla: The Half-Century War and Godzilla in Hell #1, while another cover is done by Graham Nakamura.
