Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire may be hitting cinemas next week, but before then fans of the \u2018MonsterVerse\u2019 can leap into the world of the Titans via a new trailer built in Roblox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Developed by The Gang, a studio that specialises in creating \u201cimmersive gaming experiences\u201d, the new 2D movie trailer \u2013 dubbed Godzilla x Kong Obby \u2013 will see players enter the Hollow Earth in 3D by King Kong smashing through the screen.<\/p>\n

An obstacle course will then ensue, which takes inspiration from the upcoming Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures feature.<\/p>\n

Throughout the level, several challenges will be thrown the player\u2019s way as they are aided by Suko, the \u2018mini Kong\u2019 who will make his debut in the highly anticipated sequel.<\/p>\n

The trailer will then navigate through the jungle filled with thick fog as they collect movie-themed crystals.<\/p>\n

It will conclude with a final charge through collapsing caves, as Godzilla and Kong prepare for battle with the Skar King, a huge primate-based creature that will serve as the film\u2019s villain.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been fantastic working with The Gang on the Godzilla x Kong Obby, an activation that pushes the boundaries of what\u2019s possible in the immersive media space,\u201d said Warner Bros Pictures executive vice president of global digital marketing Cameron Curtis.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to captivate and excite moviegoers and bring them a virtual entry point into the world of Godzilla x King: The New Empire, allowing them to immerse themselves in the environments inspired by the film and engage with our monstrous characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gang\u2019s unparalleled innovation and cutting-edge game design sets the gold standard for digital experiences, and we\u2019re already seeing Godzilla x Kong Obby become a popular hit with fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the level is complete, players will return to the crystal caves, where virtual theme park photos from the experience can be claimed.<\/p>\n

A number of exclusive Godzilla x Kong digital items can also be unlocked over a four-week span, such as a Godzilla Tail, Godzilla Head, Kong Head and Kong Axe.<\/p>

The Gang chief commercial officer Samuel Arvidsson added: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to join forces with Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures to create buzz and excitement around the highly-anticipated Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire movie.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy incorporating immersive gaming experiences into its marketing strategy around the film, Warner Bros and Legendary can transform the trailer into an immersive spectacle, increasing brand and trailer recognition and connecting with fans like never before.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Godzilla x Kong Obby, we\u2019ve created a truly world-first activation that we think sets the standard for future movie-themed immersive experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n
