The most recent Gundam stories are mostly merchandise, and the near-term picture is a franchise running on preorder windows at Premium Bandai and STRICT-G. New kits and figures span the Universal Century: the METAL ROBOT Spirits Enhanced ZZ Gundam and its Full Armor Parts Set are both in repeat lottery rounds, an MGSD Kshatriya shipped September 26, and the METAL BUILD Strike Noir Gundam returns in a 20th MEMORIAL COLOR. On the apparel side, STRICT-G has check shirts and Unicorn sukajan in October, glow-in-the-dark T-shirts, liner jackets in Earth Federation and Zeon versions, and a Gundam x hololive production merch wave opening preorders September 30.
The larger project is the RG line. Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO airs on television starting 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. It forms half of the RG Project alongside the game Gundam Rogue Orbit, which launches March 5, 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game's story takes place roughly 90 to 100 years after the anime. A cross-promotion between the two titles runs from September 16, 2026 to September 16, 2027, granting a Premium Gasha Ticket in SD Gundam G Generation Eternal to players who enter a code from the game's official page.
Elsewhere, the franchise is extending into retail and transit. Bandai Namco Cross Store Minneapolis and THE GUNDAM BASE Minneapolis open at Mall of America on September 30, 2026, the second U.S. locations for both retail concepts. Gundam W is collaborating with JR Central's Oshi Tabi event OPERATION TOKAIDO from October 20 to January 17, 2027, with in-car voice content and station check-ins. On television, BS12 TwellV's Sunday Anime Theater is airing the New Translation Z trilogy, with the closing film Love Is the Pulse of the Stars scheduled for September 20. At Tokyo Game Show 2026, Bandai Namco Experience announced an October 1 balance update for Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. 2 Infinite Boost, adjusting nine units.

The first set, CAPSULEVERSE Mobile Suit Gundam 01, has four types: the Gundam, Char's Custom Zaku II, Amuro Ray, and Char Aznable. The second set, CAPSULEVERSE Godzilla, also has four types: Godzilla (1974), Mechagodzilla (1974), Godzilla (1954), and Godzilla (2023).
