It’s been a few years since we last saw anything Pacific Rim franchise, even longer since the sequel. enough time has passed Pacific Rim Uprising Legendary Pictures is ready to bring it back, but instead of launching another spin-off, it’s bringing the mecha/kaiju war to life.
Legendary Comics recently launched a Kickstarter for the three-part graphic novel series Pacific Rim: The Final Breakthrough, Author: Joshua Hale Fialkovbunker) and artwork by EJ Su (Transformers: The Last Robot). For all intents and purposes, it sounds like Pacific Rim 3 We will get another life. After several failed attempts to enter the monster’s home dimension, Jack Pentecost and Herman Gottlieb decided they needed Raleigh Beckett, the protagonist from the first film, to help them. Where was Raleigh all this time? Apparently in exile again, but just like in the first film, he will step into a mecha (a new Jaegar named the Gypsy Destroyer) and lead a charge into the former universe so that this war can finally end.
final breakthrough The campaign launched on August 5 and has so far achieved around $76,000 of its original goal of $99,000. You can head here to preview the first few pages, as well as details about backer bonuses and stretch goals. Judging from the schedule, the first volume is tentatively scheduled to be released in October 2025, and the second and third volumes will be released in the fall of 2026 and 2027 respectively. This project has many supporters and it will surely grow before the event ends on September 4th. Pacific Rim, and have Raleigh return after his absence. uprising Maybe it doesn’t hurt either.
If this is the best (or only) way to continue the series, might as well take action. Maybe it’ll do well enough to merit a movie, because that’s obviously what we’re doing now.
