As promised in January, the mighty Godzilla has come toDave the Diver, and even better, he’s free. But there’s a catch: You’ve got until November 23 to add the king kaiju to the game, and after that—like an ancient reptilian beast slowly retreating to the murky depths from whence he came—he’ll be gone forever.

We wondered when the Godzilla DLC was announced whether he’d be friendly, or at least as friendly as Godzilla is inclined to be whenever he decides it’s time Tokyo an ass-kicking. It turns out the answer is, sort of—and spoilers will follow, so read on with caution if you’re concerned with such things.

As detailed last week on thePlayStation Blog, Godzilla has somehow been wounded, which led him to seek refuge in Blue Hole, where Dave runs into him while hunting for fish. Dave will apparently have the opportunity to do Godzilla a solid or two, which presumably pays off in the long run because Godzilla isn’t the only kaiju in the neighborhood: Ebirah, horror of the deep, is also on scene, and he’s a little more overtly hostile toward Dave.

Fortunately, Dave has also taken possession of a submarine belonging to the international military organization G-Force (this DLC really goes places) and so he’s not totally helpless against Ebirah. But surely they’re not going to put two kaiju into one DLC and not let them fight, right?

Surely not.

Dave the Diver’s Godzilla DLC looks very weird and cool and fun, hopefully it will live up to that promise. But the limited-time availability seems strange. As explained onSteam, it breaks down like this:

A Nexon representative explained that Dave the Diver’s Godzilla DLC is only available for a limited time because of licensing issues.

“While the content is currently free to download, it will only be available for a limited period due to the Godzilla licencing. There are no plans to transition it to paid content, but it will eventually be delisted from the store,” the rep said in a statement provided to PC Gamer.

“However, users who download the DLC during the specified period can still enjoy the content even if it’s no longer visible on the Steam Store. So, no need to worry about losing access once it’s taken down.”
