The developers of GigaBash said that Ultraman Zero will join the game's roster as downloadable content on July 9, 2026 [1].
The addition of a high-profile character like Ultraman Zero allows the developers to expand the game's reach within the kaiju-fighting market. This expansion arrives ahead of the 2026 Southeast Asian Games, signaling a strategic move to capture regional interest in giant monster combat simulations [2].
The announcement came via an official trailer unveiled during the Southeast Asian Games Showcase 2026 [3]. According to the trailer, the DLC is scheduled to launch at 20:00 PDT [1].
Players will be able to access the new content across a wide range of hardware. The DLC will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch [1]. PC players can obtain the content through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG [1].
GigaBash supports between one and four players [2], allowing the new hero to be integrated into both solo and multiplayer combat scenarios. The inclusion of Ultraman Zero adds a recognized face to the existing roster of monsters and heroes.
This release follows a trend of integrating licensed Japanese icons into fighting games to attract global audiences. By launching on nearly every modern gaming platform, the developers ensure that the character is accessible to the widest possible user base regardless of their preferred console or storefront [1, 3].
