Monsterpocalypse Now! New Minis Come Crashing In
It’s a veritable cavalcade of Kaiju today as another wave of previews for Privateer Press’ Monsterpocalypse come crashing through. Check out this sweet saucer and attack chopper as well.
Announced earlier this year, 2018 is already shaping up to be the greatest because Privateer Press is releasing a new Monsterpocalypse. Take your Kaiju to a city and battle it out with destrictible buildings, unexpected transformations, Aliens, and of course the hapless humans of G.U.A.R.D. trying their best to hold out against the unstoppable Kaiju.
Today we get a look at some of the upcoming minis, as well as a tour of the history of the game. May is Monsterpocalypse month, so stay tuned for things like a Developer Q&A and more as Monsterpocalypse MAYhem kicks off.

Ten years ago this July, I started the epic adventure of working at Privateer Press. I showed up to work that day, and on my desk was a folder with a sticky note on it. The writing on the note read, “Monsterpocalypse Rules for Will.” Turns out, one of my first tasks was to become an expert on Privateer’s soon-to-be-released new game. It was already a surreal experience showing up to work at Privateer, but having one of my core job responsibilities be to learn one of the most anticipated new games for 2008 took it over the top.
Fast-forward 10 years, and Monsterpocalypse remains not only one of my favorite games, but it also represents a significant and important part of my history with Privateer. When the opportunity came to do a second edition of the game—this time as a hobby miniatures game—well, let’s just say the speed of my thumbs up broke the sound barrier.

I’m very excited about how we’ve been able to update the game while still remaining true to the original experience. Few things remain as satisfying as suplexing your opponent’s monster into a cluster of extremely flammable downtown high rises or watching the look of horror on your opponent’s face as your monster goes into hyper form and beats the ever-loving snot out of his once-pristine monster.
But wait, there’s more! That’s right. Add mentioned, this is Monsterpocalypse MAYhem, and that means a whole month of monsters, including a Live Q&A on the forums with the devs on Thursday! We’re all very excited about this one folks, so stay tuned.
This is one ‘pocalypse that you won’t want to cancel.
