The long-awaited Godzilla/Pacific Rim crossover has (sort of) arrived.
For the upcoming Japanese release of the anime Godzilla: Kessen Kidō Zōshoku Toshi (Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle), Toho Inc. and Legendary Pictures have collaborated on a promotional poster featuring the titular legendary Kaiju and a crew of Jaegers, including Gipsy Avenger, Saber Athena and Bracer Phoenix from Pacific Rim: Uprising, which releases this weekend in Japan.

Illustrator Hidetaka Tenjin (Macross Frontier) created the poster, which brings together the two monster-filled worlds. Tenjin said he wanted to respect the impact of Godzilla while also paying homage to a history of giant robots in Japanese pop culture.
