Gundam

Gundam is active across a television anime set for April 2027, a console and PC game dated March 5, 2027, and a dense run of Premium Bandai figure, model kit, and STRICT-G apparel preorders. The RG Project pairs the anime and game as two views of a shared history, while a franchise-wide merchandise schedule runs from September 2026 into March 2027.

Synthesized from 30 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

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.

Gundam Rogue Orbit Developers Detail High-Speed Action and Worldwide Aim

Bandai Namco Entertainment will release the action game GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 5, 2027. Producer Yuya Tomiyama and director Yoshiyuki Serizawa, the latter at Bandai Namco Studios, gave a joint media interview timed to a preview play session. The project began under a mission to deliver a Gundam work to game users worldwide, and the team landed on the concept of Gundam versus extraterrestrial lifeforms. Players pilot the Gundam Helix against a giant enemy called Apocalypse, and the game leans on close-range combat over the long-range weapons typical of the series. Serizawa said the aim is to give players worldwide an ace pilot experience, following the sequence of boarding, cockpit entry, briefing, and catapult launch. A full story run is estimated at around 20 hours. A three-player co-op mission unlocks after the story is cleared.
