Zundamon Appears on Character Summoning Device Gatebox3
Zundamon joins a next-generation display that pairs the character with generative AI, building on a 2024 Cup Noodle collaboration that was developed in response to fan reaction.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
Gatebox announced on August 20 that Zundamon will appear on the character summoning display Gatebox3. Download cards and a collaboration model go on sale in September. Gatebox3 is under development for general release in 2027. Zundamon will link with generative AI to respond to user conversations.
Gatebox3 displays characters like holograms, letting users treat them as digital figures and talk with them. The Zundamon version works through a dedicated download card read with special software, and a custom panel that changes the main unit to a Zundamon spec is also planned.
The project follows a 2024 campaign where limited Cup Noodle Original Zundamon ver. units linked with generative AI were given as prizes in a Nissin Foods promotion. Gatebox says the new project was developed in response to the reaction at that time.
