Mobile Suit Gundam is currently spread across a television anime, a cross-media game, an arcade update, and a merchandise slate that reaches into 2027. Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO begins airing in April 2027 in Japan and North America, directed by Kenji Kamiyama at Sola Animation, with Toh EnJoe supervising the science fiction setting and Eiichi Shimizu designing the Gundam units.

Alongside the new timeline, Bandai keeps working the back catalog.

The merchandise schedule is dense through early 2027. METAL ROBOT Spirits Rogue Orbit-era items include the Black Knight Squad Carla figure from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom, priced at 26,400 yen and shipping April 2027 with a matching effect parts set at 6,050 yen. The Gunpla Journal October issue lists the MGSD 00 Raiser at 6,050 yen and the MGEX 1/100 Mighty Strike Freedom Gundam at 26,400 yen, both for 2027.
