Summary
Okay, so Bandai Namco just dropped some huge news! They’re kicking off a brand new Gundam universe in 2027 with ‘Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO.’ It’s an anime directed by Kenji Kamiyama, and it’s going to star a new character, Ray Azumi, set in a timeline they’re calling ‘After Apocalypse.’ What’s really cool is that this anime isn’t just a standalone thing – it’s directly tied into the upcoming game, ‘Gundam: Rogue Orbit,’ which I’m already hyped for!
Okay, so Bandai Namco just dropped some huge news for Gundam fans like me! They’re kicking off something called the “RG Project,” and to start things off, they revealed a brand new anime – Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO (it’s pronounced “Alex Zero”). It feels like they’re really pushing the franchise forward with this new stuff!
The new anime series, created by SUNRISE and animated by SOLA ANIMATION, is scheduled to debut in 2027. Go Shiina will compose the music, and Eiichi Shimizu is designing the mechs. This anime forms the core story of a larger interconnected universe that’s also connected to the upcoming action game Gundam: Rogue Orbit. Together, they’ll create one continuous world told through different eras and viewpoints.
The story of Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO starts almost a century before the events of Rogue Orbit. It tells the tale of humanity’s fight against a strange, dangerous ecosystem called the “Apocalypse,” which was unleashed by an alien object. This object previously gave humans incredible technologies like gravity control and faster-than-light communication. The series centers around Ray Azumi, an orphan and skilled pilot of the Gundam ZERO, voiced by Takeo Otsuka.
I was so excited to hear the news at Comic-Con! Gundam is going in a totally new direction with this massive project! It’s not just one anime or game, but a whole universe being built across both! What’s really cool is that Kenji Kamiyama, the director of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, is leading the charge, and he’s working with Toh EnJoe to create a really detailed world. He’s said he wants to take Gundam outside of the usual timelines and really explore what makes a Gundam story, while still giving us something completely fresh and new. It sounds amazing!
