GUNDAM TCG Unveiled with Teaser Video
Full Details Coming from BANDAI
The official announcement of a GUNDAM TCG has sent ripples of excitement through the Gundam fanbase! A promotional video was posted on the official GUNDAM TCG X (formerly Twitter) account on September 27th, launching the "#GUNDAM" global TCG project. This coincides with the Mobile Suit Gundam 45th anniversary celebrations. However, the format remains unclear – will it be a physical-only card game, or will online play be incorporated?
Complete details will be revealed on October 3rd at 7 PM JST during BANDAI CARD GAMES' Next Plan Announcement livestream on Bandai's official YouTube channel. The event will feature popular actors Kanata Hongo and Kotoko Sasaki, and former TV Tokyo announcer Shohei Taguchi. Hongo, a known GUNPLA enthusiast, participated in the GUNPLA 40th Anniversary Project in 2020, demonstrating his passion for both GUNPLA and the Gundam franchise.
Anticipation is high amongst fans, reminiscent of Bandai's previous (now discontinued) TCGs like Super Robot Wars V Crusade and Gundam War. Many are already referring to the new game as "Gundam War 2.0." For the latest updates, follow the official GUNDAM TCG X account.
