“Operation Shin 765,” the initial attraction, puts players in the position of a Global Unknown Event Keepers agent tasked with saving the planet from Godzilla, Angels, Kaiju, and SHOCKERs. It will be a mission-based attraction that will need players to think promptly in critical situations.

The second attraction, “Operation to Repel Kaiju No. 8,” is a mystery-solving attraction based on the Shin Ultraman film. Players must examine the appearance of a new kaiju and find out how to get rid of it.

Other games include “Shin Ultra Roulette,” which allows players to win prizes from the Shin Ultraman film, as well as two virtual reality attractions. In one, players take control of a helicopter pilot chasing Godzilla, while in the other, they pilot an EVA unit.

Shin Japan Heroes Universe is a collaboration between Shin Godzilla, Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time (Shin Evangelion Gekijō-ban:||), Shin Ultraman, and Shin Kamen Rider; all films directed or written by Anno.
