Bandai Namco Filmworks announced Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO at San Diego Comic-Con on July 23, 2026. Kenji Kamiyama directs and handles series composition. Animation production is by SOLA ANIMATION. The series is part of the RG Project, a multimedia initiative that also includes the action game GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT. The anime takes place roughly 100 years before the events of the game.
The series is set in a new timeline separate from the Universal Century and Common Era, beginning in A.A. (After Apocalypse) 45. Humanity abandoned Earth after an alien ecosystem called the Apocalypse overran the planet. The protagonist, Ray Azumi, a war orphan, pilots the Gundam Zero. Takeo Otsuka voices Ray Azumi. Kamiyama stated the project allowed him to create a Gundam from scratch in a new timeline.
The lead mobile suit, the XARX-0 Gundam ZERO, appears in a standard tricolor design with twin eyes and blade antenna. The final cut of the reveal video shows the machine transformed, with a blue right eye, altered right hand, bandaged left hand, and a cape. The reveal video's final shot deliberately shows the Gundam ZERO in an altered form, suggesting the transformation is a key hook for the new series.
