The best way to prepare for the launch of the film is to read the backstory that can only be found in this prequel graphic novel, which was written by Travis Beacham, who is also the screenwriter for the film and supervised by Guillermo del Toro. The book reveals the backstory of key characters from the film including Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) and Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi). Additionally, readers will see the first attack by the incredible monsters known as Kaiju and the tumultuous evolution of the Jaegers - massive robot fighting machines created by the humans to battle the Kaiju.


Divided into three sections, the 112 page narrative begins in 2013, chronicling the very first time Earth is menaced by Kaiju - inhuman beasts that rise from the ocean depths and threaten to extinguish all mankind! Following the Kaiju invasion, the race begins to develop the Jaegers, each one controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. Included among the fascinating reveals are why the Jaeger’s need two people to control them, the first Kaiju vs. Jaeger battle, how Stacker Pentecost (Idris Elba) saved the Jaeger program, the origin of the special bond with Mako, and much more.

The game will feature a variety of battlescapes, from ocean waters to city, and will also contain the breathtaking building destruction seen in the film.
