GUNDAM TCG: A First Glimpse
More Information Coming Soon from Bandai
The official announcement of a GUNDAM TCG has sent ripples of excitement through the Gundam fanbase! A promotional video was released on the official GUNDAM TCG X (formerly Twitter) account on September 27th, launching the "new global TCG project #GUNDAM." This launch coincides with the Mobile Suit Gundam 45th anniversary celebrations. Whether the game will be solely physical or incorporate online play remains to be seen.
Comprehensive details are slated for release on October 3rd at 19:00 JST during Bandai's CARD GAMES Next Plan Announcement. This event will be livestreamed on Bandai's official YouTube channel and feature popular actors Kanata Hongo and Kotoko Sasaki, along with former TV Tokyo announcer Shohei Taguchi. Hongo's participation is particularly noteworthy given his passion for GUNPLA, as demonstrated in the GUNPLA 40th Anniversary Project.
The announcement has rekindled fond memories of Bandai's previous, now-discontinued TCGs like Super Robot Wars V Crusade and Gundam War, leading many enthusiastic fans to anticipate this new game as a "Gundam War 2.0." While specifics are still under wraps, stay tuned to the official GUNDAM TCG X account for the latest updates!
