The Jaegers (giant
robots) and Kaiju (
huge primeval
creatures with interdimensional containment issues) are again battling head to head in Pacific Rim Uprising, and while original director Guillermo del Toro has not returned for this sequel to his 2013 fun machine, TV vet Steven S. DeKnight proves a more - than - capable replacement.
The trailer began with the recurring phrase: «This is a fantasy based on reality» and demonstrated new gameplay footage such as combat scenes with swords and guns, controlling a tank - like vehicle, climbing aboard a bipedal
robot, and battling a
huge creature (presumably from the TGS trailer), and Noctis facing off against a group of armed soldiers.
