It’s not often you see companies teaming up for a once-in-a-lifetime event, and this one certainly lives up to its hype.
Microsoft recently announced a partnership of sorts with Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures to give away four very special Xbox One X consoles, custom-made with Kaiju designs. This is to promote the upcoming film Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which will be released in theaters this May 31.
The four exclusive consoles look amazing, and each is designed around a Kaiju that will appear in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The first one, which features serrated spikes on a leathery hard shell, is based on the design of the King of Monsters himself, Godzilla. The second one features a fiery talon on the volcanic-like shell, and is modeled after the Kaiju Rodan. Another one features a moth-like creature, which is modeled, of course, after Mothra. The last one, which is my favorite, shows the back of three wyvern heads, and is modeled after Godzilla’s nemesis, King Ghidorah.
There is only one of each console, so there will only be four lucky winners. Xbox has released some guidelines on joining, but the basic gist of it is to first follow the official Xbox account. Afterwards, you need only retweet the promotional post with the official hashtag #GodzillaXboxSweepstakes. Only those within countries and regions that support Xbox Live can officially join, so be sure to check out this link to find out if your country is included.
The sweepstakes officially opened last Thursday, May 2, and is expected to end next month on June 7. That means you have a lot more time to join for a chance to win. At the end of this entry period, all winners will be chosen at random and will be notified via DM on Twitter.
My only hope is that this signals a Godzilla game in the future, perhaps a true Xbox exclusive.
