Mobile Suit Gundam RG Alex Zero is an announced anime series planned for 2027, set in the RG Project media mix with the game GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT. It has a confirmed director, series composer, SF setting supervisor, animation studio, protagonist, and a broad merchandise lineup.
Bandai Namco Filmworks announced Mobile Suit Gundam RG Alex Zero on July 24, 2026. The anime is set in the same world as the action game GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT, forming the RG Project media mix initiative. The anime takes place roughly 100 years before the game's story, covering the origin of a shared history. This is a new timeline for Gundam, moving away from the Universal Century and other established continuities. The setting involves humanity's expansion across the solar system using technology called the Three Gospels: gravity control, superluminal communication, and materialization, brought by an interstellar object. That object went rogue within 10 years, producing aggressive self-replicating silicon lifeforms called Apocalypse.
The protagonist Azumi Rei, voiced by Takeo Otsuka, pilots the new-generation mobile suit Gundam Zero against the Apocalypse. Director and series composition is 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 game GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT, which launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam in 2027, has players pilot Rex with partner Haro Vee, facing the enemy unit Apocalypse.
On July 24, 2026, Bandai Spirits announced a wide merchandise lineup for Gundam Zero, including the HG 1/144 Gundam Zero plastic model kit, the GUNDAM UNIVERSE XARX-0 Gundam Zero action figure, and the die-cast METAL ROBOT Soul Gundam Zero. Additional toy brands include Gundam Miximize, Gundam Cross, and a 13 cm scale action figure. The game's Gundam Helix also received Gunpla: an HG 1/144 in regular color and a game-bundle-exclusive Earth Blue Ver. Physical models of both Gundam Zero and Gundam Helix were displayed at San Diego Comic-Con from July 23 to 26, with more product details to come on the Bandai Hobby Site and Tamashii Nations websites.
