Premise



It is a calm, seemingly average day. Summer is in full swing, bringing with it a carefree attitude. The cry of cicadas echo through the air, almost as if they are competing with the local birdsong. By now the sun has risen to its peak, making the heat sweltering. Despite this, some kids laugh as they run down the street, seemingly unbothered by the sweat on their brows.

It truly is the picture of peace. Just another normal uneventful day for you…

And then, that peace is disturbed in the most unusual way.

All at once, the birdsong and cicada cries stop. All the sounds of nature around you cease so suddenly that its hard not to notice. The children who had been laughing and playing also stop, clearly just as confused as you are by the sudden lull. It is unnerving. A tension settles in the air, as if the orchestra of nature had been told to pause by a conductor, waiting for its cue to begin playing again…

That is when you hear it.

An echoing melodic call.

It sounds so far away, yet somehow right next to you at the same time. You look for the source of the sound, unsure and afraid of what it could mean.

Birds take to the skies, fleeing from some unknown threat. Dogs bark within the houses on your street, distressed by whatever they have sensed with their keener instincts. Even the ants at your feet scurry back into the ground to wait out the coming catastrophy.

The phenomena continues for several minutes, before the world slowly falls silent once again.

However, this time the silence is disrupted by a man-made sound. Distant sirens begin to blare, ones that your town hasn’t had to make use of in many years. At the same time, the ground begins to tremble and it is only now you remember what the sirens mean.

As you get inside to the illusion of safety, you pull up a newsfeed on your phone, confirming the worst.

The Kaiju are on the move.



The Call goes out across the globe, one-thousand years to the day. It awakens hundreds of creatures, and rallies hundreds more. They all begin the journey to one secluded island in the middle of the sea...

Instinct pulls them, thirst drives them, glory awaits them.

You who hear the Call of the Apex, rejoice, for it is you who will usher in a new era for the world.

Usurp the King. Claim his crown. Become the newest link in the endless chain.

Rise. Fight. And earn your right to Rule...


Setting


Every 1000 years, a mysterious song echoes across the world. This haunting melody calls the planet’s most dangerous Kaiju to gather on a lone island in the middle of the sea. This island is called The Isle of Ascension, a ruthless land that has barely been touched in over a millennium. It is here where these great beasts wage war for the ultimate prize:

To lay claim to the King’s Rock and become the next Apex Kaiju. The Ruler of Monsters.

The Kaiju who gather here must face each other, and only the strongest among them will be able to do battle with the current Apex… Typhon. No one knows how he came to be and his origin has been lost to time.

He has proven to be a ruthless King, and for the past 3000 years he has yet to be usurped.

But this year. His era will finally end…
