Dawn of the Monsters available now; RWBY: Arrowfell and Spidersaurs coming soon
Valencia, Calif. – June 27, 2024 – Get triple the action on mobile devices with Crunchyroll Game Vault! Independent game studio WayForward is excited to announce that three fan-favorite console/PC games — Dawn of the Monsters, RWBY: Arrowfell, and Spidersaurs — will be available to play on iOS via the App Store and Android devices via Google Play as part of Crunchyroll Game Vault, the added-value mobile game service included with Crunchyroll Premium Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan memberships. Dawn of the Monsters is available now, while RWBY: Arrowfell and Spidersaurs will be available in the months ahead.
Ready to download today, Dawn of the Monsters is the critically acclaimed giant-monster beat-’em-up developed by 13AM Games, featuring four colossal playable characters, 35 missions of kaiju-crushing combat, a gripping storyline, and two-player co-op action. As members of DAWN (Defense Alliance Worldwide Network), players will take command of “the living volcano” Megadon, colossal crustacean Ganira, superhuman warrior Aegis Prime, and massive mecha Tempest Galahad as they battle the otherworldly menace known as the Nephilim in hotspots around the globe. Powerful Rage abilities, devastating Cataclysm Attacks, and savage Execution finishers, along with DNA Augments that let players customize their stats and unlock new perks, add unprecedented depth to the city-smashing gameplay.
Coming later this year is RWBY: Arrowfell, a single-player side-scrolling action-adventure based on the hit animated series. Featuring an original, in-canon story set during RWBY Volume 7, RWBY: Arrowfell lets players instantly swap between all four members of Team RWBY — Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long — to unleash the heroes’ signature weapons and Semblances while defending Atlas and Mantle from a mysterious new threat. As fully licensed Huntresses, the quartet will complete quests, solve puzzles, battle massive bosses, and upgrade their Semblances while exploring 25 locations across the continent of Solitas.
Also arriving on Game Vault later this year, Spidersaurs is a co-op run-‘n’-gun action game inspired by Saturday morning cartoons — complete with animated intro and theme song! Though created by InGest Corp to provide all the meat and muscle humanity needs to end world hunger, the menacing Spidersaurs are loose and on a destructive rampage, leaving it to punk rocker Victoria and officer-in-training Adrian to save the world from these genetically engineered dinosaur-spider hybrids by running, jumping, climbing, and shooting their way through multiple stages of high-octane mayhem. An arsenal of weapons such as Victoria’s Electronica Chain and Adrian’s Football Rocket provide numerous explosive ways to eliminate the mutant monstrosities.
The mobile versions of Dawn of the Monsters, RWBY: Arrowfell, and Spidersaurs join WayForward’s previously released beat-’em-up, River City Girls, which launched on Crunchyroll Game Vault in November 2023. All four titles feature WayForward’s trademark old-school game-design sensibilities and meticulous attention to detail, along with the option to play using a touchscreen interface or a BluTooth controller (required for co-op play). In addition to their Crunchyroll Game Vault mobile versions, all four titles are also available to purchase on Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC.
