The GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT game and its anime prequel, Mobile Suit Gundam RG Alex Zero, are both scheduled for 2027, forming the RG Project media mix. The game has shown screenshots and a trailer; the anime was announced later with a full staff and cast.
Bandai Namco Entertainment announced Gundam Rogue Orbit at Summer Game Fest 2026, a new action game developed by Bandai Namco Studios. It features photorealistic graphics, high-speed combat, and a new mobile suit called Gundam Helix. Players control pilot Rex alongside a partner Haro unit named Vee. The game is set for release in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Official screenshots released in June 2026 confirmed the visual direction and showed the Gundam Helix in combat against beast-like enemies.
On July 24, 2026, Bandai Namco Filmworks announced Mobile Suit Gundam RG Alex Zero, an anime set in the same world as the game. The anime takes place approximately 100 years before the game, depicting the origin of a shared history. The setting involves humanity's expansion across the solar system using the Three Gospels technologies brought by an interstellar object, which went rogue and spawned aggressive silicon lifeforms called Apocalypse. The protagonist Azumi Rei pilots the Gundam ZERO against this threat. Director and series composition is handled by Kenji Kamiyama, with SF setting supervision by novelist Tow Ubukata, and animation production by SOLA ANIMATION. The anime is planned for a 2027 release.
The two projects together form the RG Project media mix initiative. Both are scheduled for 2027, though no specific release dates have been announced for either. The game's announcement trailer showed photorealistic visuals and combat using funnels, bits, and large melee weapons. The anime's announcement confirmed the voice of the protagonist as Takeo Otsuka.
