The Six One Indie Showcase brought two interesting announcements for fans of unusual multiplayer games, and their common link is kaiju monsters. Kaiju Cleanup received its first co-op trailer, while Re:Rite was presented with a new cinematic reveal trailer.
Kaiju Cleanup, developed by Mythwright, is envisioned as a monster cleaning simulator where players do not save the city from giant monsters but clean up what remains after their attacks. The game can be played solo or in an online co-op mode for two to four players, with the task of cleaning dangerous zones, cutting up the remains of huge kaiju bodies, removing toxic materials, and surveying destroyed city locations.
The new trailer showcases additional levels, including a dead tunnel kaiju in a ruined subway. Players will be able to upgrade their equipment through missions, customize their appearance, and use tools like a laser cutter, a claw for extracting the insides of monsters, and a device for vacuuming hazardous remains. Kaiju Cleanup can currently be added to your Steam wishlist, and interested players can also sign up for a future playtest.
On the other hand, Re:Rite from Buffalo Buffalo takes a completely different direction. It is a chaotic PvE game where players physically grow during the match – from a small survivor character to a giant robotic kaiju. The goal is to fight against swarms of enemies, gather resources, and break giant crystal pods that hide bosses.
Re:Rite will offer solo play and online multiplayer, with the option to cooperate with friends or engage in PvPvE skirmishes. Players will be able to combine melee and ranged weapons, choose different mechs, use special Shell and Seed upgrades, and strategically decide when to grow and when to shrink to avoid danger more easily. Particularly interesting is the modulated proximity chat, where players' voices change depending on their size.
Re:Rite is announced for release later in 2026, while Kaiju Cleanup does not yet have a confirmed release date. Both games show that the kaiju theme can clearly go far beyond classic city-destroying action – whether you are cleaning up the mess after monsters or turning into one yourself.
