Developer Passion Republic Games has announced the <strong>Ultraman Zero DLC<\/strong>, adding two of the Ultraman franchise&#8217;s most iconic rivals \u2014 the heroic Ultraman Zero and the fallen Ultraman Belial \u2014 to the roster. It drops on <strong>July 9, 2026<\/strong> (11am SGT on July 10), in time to celebrate Ultraman&#8217;s <strong>60th anniversary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ultraman Zero vs. Belial \u2014 A Rivalry 17 Years in the Making<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gigabash-ultraman-gb_001.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ultraman Belial and Ultraman Zero face off in GigaBash at night in a city stage\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Passion Republic Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The DLC brings both characters in their debut forms from the 2009 classic film <em>Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy \u2014 The Movie<\/em>, the film that first pitted the two against each other in what became one of the franchise&#8217;s most beloved confrontations. For Singapore fans who grew up with Ultraman on afternoon television, seeing these two in a modern kaiju brawler is a serious nostalgia hit.<\/p>\n<p>Each character arrives with a distinct playstyle that maps to their on-screen personalities. Ultraman Zero is the precision fighter \u2014 his Zero Sluggers can be hurled to zone enemies at range, while his Emerium Slash lets him punish from mid-distance. His move set emphasises space martial arts and reactive play, rewarding players who like to read the opponent and counterattack.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/adFdMFMhsV0\" title=\"GigaBash - Ultraman Zero DLC: Official Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>GigaBash &#8211; Ultraman Zero DLC: Official Trailer \u2014 via ULTRAMAN Official English Channel on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Ultraman Belial: All Rage, All Power<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gigabash-ultraman-gb_003.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ultraman Belial fires his Giga Battlenizer at Ultraman Zero in a lava stage in GigaBash\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Passion Republic Games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ultraman Belial is the counterpoint in every sense. Armed with the Giga Battlenizer, he&#8217;s a high-damage, aggressive character whose attacks carry the fury of someone who threw away everything for power. Dark fireballs cover the arena, the Belial Whip controls space at close range, and Belial Genothunder can shred opponents who overcommit. He&#8217;s a character who punishes recklessness \u2014 because he embodies it.<\/p>\n<p>What makes the DLC interesting beyond the gameplay is how faithfully Passion Republic Games has translated both characters&#8217; mythologies. The asymmetry in the matchup isn&#8217;t just aesthetic: Zero&#8217;s arc in the 2009 film is literally about overcoming his worst impulses to become a true hero, while Belial represents the road not taken. The lore runs deep, and the development team has clearly leaned into it.<\/p>\n<h2>Available on All Major Platforms \u2014 No Switch 2 Restrictions Here<\/h2>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gigabash-ultraman-gb_015-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"GigaBash Ultraman Zero DLC character reveal art \u2014 Ultraman Zero on blue, Ultraman Belial on red\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Passion Republic Games \/ \u00a9Tsuburaya Productions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Ultraman Zero DLC releases across <strong>PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and STOVE<\/strong>. Singapore players on any of those platforms can grab it at launch. Note that due to regional licensing, the DLC is not available in Mainland China \u2014 no such restrictions apply here in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t played GigaBash yet, the base game is already a solid pick for fans of kaiju movies and arena brawlers. The roster leans heavily into tokusatsu icons alongside original kaiju, making it one of the few games where the Southeast Asian development scene has genuinely punched above its weight on the global stage.
