Bandai Namco Entertainment and SUNRISE have recently announced that the brand new Gundam Anime series, entitled Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO, will connect with the upcoming GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT through a shared world. Additionally, the HG 1/144 ARK-10 GUNDAM HELIX Gunpla Kit will be a Bandai Namco Store Exclusive with the “BLUE EARTH” Version being a Collector’s Edition exclusive to GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT.
As revealed in the anime reveal showcase the newly announced Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO anime will take place 100 years before the GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT game, and will act as the beginning of this worlds story. GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT meanwhile will tell the future of this worlds story. This newly combined worldview is being created by director Kenji Kamiyama and author Toh Enjoe and will offer a unique perspective of blending two different entertainment mediums to deliver one long narrative experience.
About: In GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT, players will become a Gundam pilot in an original story set beyond the events of the anime. In this story, three revelations were delivered by the Autonomous Interstellar Object from another galaxy ushered in an age of unprecedented prosperity, allowing humanity to expand across the entire solar system. Gravity Control. FTL Communication. Cognitive Materialization. Yet less than ten years after its discovery, the Object that had delivered these three revelations suddenly ran rampant, spawning an aggressive, self-proliferating ecosystem. Humanity came to see this unknown ecosystem as the Apocalypse. For three months, humanity fought the Apocalypse to a standstill in orbit above Earth. Forced to abandon the planet, humanity marked that year as A.A. 1—the first year After Apocalypse. By A.A. 45, children born on the Moon and in space colonies have never known life without the Apocalypse. And on the lunar surface, a boy named Ray Azumi awakens.
GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT is in development by Bandai Namco Studios for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC (via Steam) for a 2027 release, with further details to be announced. Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO meanwhile will become available to stream in 2027 as well, with further details to be announced.
