Bandai Namco Entertainment announced Gundam Rogue Orbit during the Summer Game Fest 2026 livestream on June 5 and 6, 2026. The game is a new original action title in the Gundam franchise, scheduled for release in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. It is developed by Bandai Namco Studios. The announcement trailer showed photorealistic visuals and high-mobility combat, a departure from the cel-shaded or anime-style aesthetics of recent Gundam games.

Players control pilot RE-X, also called Rex, who operates the mobile suit Gundam Helix. The story centers on survival against an unknown enemy. Combat features fast-paced battles against enemy hordes and bosses, using weapons such as funnels, bits, and large melee weapons resembling anti-ship swords. Enemies appear as beast-like robots. A partner Haro unit named Vee accompanies the pilot.

On June 8, 2026, Bandai Namco released the first official screenshots for the game and launched its official website and X account. The company stated it will reveal more details in the coming months. An Automaton weekly roundup from June 7, 2026, mentioned the game among other major announcements but added no new details beyond what the announcement and screenshots provided.
