Kaiju No. 8 The Game has introduced Soshiro Hoshina as a new playable 5-star character. His in-game debut coincides with his pivotal story arc in Episode 22 of the anime, which premiered on September 20th.

Soshiro Hoshina serves as the vice-captain of the Defense Force's Third Division and is a scion of the esteemed Hoshina Family. True to his portrayal in the anime, where he battled alongside Kaiju No. 10, he wields the Identified Kaiju Weapon Numbers 10 within the game.

Additionally, the developers have expanded the game's lore with a new character chapter in the Story section. This narrative follows Hoshina's personal challenge as he contends with a weapon possessing its own formidable will.

The chapter explores the activation experiment for the Identified Kaiju Weapon, which is infused with the core essence of Kaiju No. 10. To mark his arrival, a new Character Trailer for [United Front] Soshiro Hoshina is now available. Watch it below!
