** When asked on their Discord in November 2023, the devs stated that there were no plans at the time to add additional story modes for the game's original characters beyond the four already present in the base game, and that their time and effort would be focused on patching bugs and working on DLC guest-character packs. This was expanded upon, with one developer saying that while they would like to add more character story modes they are very expensive to produce, and it's more cost-effective to spend the same amount of resources making new characters.
Added DiffLines:
** While the devs would ''like'' to write story modes for the DLC characters, the terms of their agreements with the IP holders forbid them from doing so.
** The developers have occasionally answered fan questions regarding the lore on their Discord:
*** [=OtomaTEC=] is primarily a tech company--akin to Sony or Panasonic--that specializes in electronic appliances; and was established by Otoma Kazuo to fund his research into Giga Energy. Kazuo was worried about the repercussions of his research falling into the wrong hands and tried to keep it private, but Dr. Reiner pushed for more public applications of Giga Energy such as the Gigatron Reactor, and effectively usurped control of the company after Kazuo was injured by Rohanna in 2020.
*** The first documented Titan attack occurred in Tokyo in 1970, resulting in a very different geopolitical environment emerging where human vs. human conflicts all-but ceased and governments banded together to establish an international military organization called the Global Titan Defense Initiative. However, the GTDI is now a dominant world power and rife with corruption--exploiting its resources and military dominance to rig elections in favour of politicians who'll give them more funding--with countries having become overly dependant on it for protection.
*** Rawa was killed by Skorak pulling a ChestBurster, but was resurrected by his cult in a deminished form--explaining why his current appearance looks different from the skull on Skorak's back and the hieroglyphics depicting the Dragon King's death.
*** Rawa's title "the Extinction Dragon" comes from the fact that his spectral flames--derived from Giga Energy--are ColdFlames that unmake matter on a molecular level rather than just burning it. This is one reason why he can't perform beam-clashes with other kaiju using his Ultimate, as it will simply overpower their normal beam attacks.
*** Rohanna can absorb the genes of any plant she comes into contact with and replicate them at will.
*** Rohanna has a HealingFactor, letting her recover from even serious injuries within a few days--or instantaniously if she wants to expend her stockpile of Giga Energy. As an example, her left arm was seriously injured--if not destroyed--by Rawa's flames in an ancient battle, and she later regenerated it in a weaponized configuration.
*** Rohanna's domain is called the Verdant Empire, and she is the singular monarch of it. She's also the only monster-god of Tarabak Island to treat her followers with genuine benevolence.
*** Thundatross' story mode is more or less the "canon" timeline.
*** The profiles are written from the perspective of GTDI archivists and researchers, and thus contain flawed intel--such as Rawa being listed as having first appeared in 2009.
*** Gigaman's Rising and Veteran heroes are meant to depict him at different times of his life; and he doesn't wear a costume--his "suit" is part of his skin.

** When the topic of potential guest characters was broached on their Discord, the Franchise/MonsterVerse was vetoed by the devs due to the complicated and expensive licensing involving both Toho and Warner Bros. When ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' released a Godzilla DLC not long afterwards that featured multiple versions of the character--including [=MonsterVerse=] Godzilla ''and'' Kong--it was maintained that ''[=GigaBash=]'' would be unlikely to be able to do the same, owing to the difference in resources between a massive corporation like Microsoft and an indie studio like Passion Republic Games.

The shape of Skorak's skull shell and wall-art in Thundatross' story mode indicate that the design they initially chose was the serpentine Southeast Asian dragon, but hardware limitations forced the dev team to settle for a bipedal dinosaur-like design.
