Fans are celebrating January 8th, 2025 - the day Dr. Newton Geiszler's 'drift' with a Kaiju brain led to a devastating 'double event' battle in Hong Kong, where two Category IV Kaiju destroyed two Jaegers but were ultimately defeated by Gipsy Danger.
On January 12th, 2025, humanity took the fight to the Breach, with pilots detonating a Jaeger's nuclear core to repel the monstrous Kaiju Scunner, Raiju, and the fearsome Category V Slattern, seemingly ending the threat once and for all.
