The Godzilla Card Game continues to expand with its third major booster release, Booster Set #3: Resonance of Rivals, bringing iconic rival monsters and memorable film moments back into competitive and collectible form.
Releasing in January 2026, this set draws heavily from fan-favourite Godzilla and Mothra films of the late 1990s and early 2000s, while introducing limited, highly sought-after signature cards and new parallel treatments. Below is a clear breakdown of what’s officially confirmed so far for both the Japanese and International (English) editions. This will be the next release following the limited Japanese mini-set Festival Collection.
What Is Resonance of Rivals?
Resonance of Rivals (Japanese title: 好敵獣(ライバル)の共鳴) centers on the renewed clashes between Godzilla and his rival kaiju. Rather than introducing brand-new storylines, the set focuses on cinematic history, translating classic scenes and characters into playable cards.
This approach makes the set appealing to:
- Competitive players looking to expand their card pool
- Godzilla fans who value movie-accurate artwork
- Collectors who seek new chase cards

The booster set includes scenes and characters from the following films (officially announced):
- Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
