GUNDAM TCG Unveiled: A First Look

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, shared on X (formerly Twitter) on September 27th, marked the launch of the "#GUNDAM" global TCG project. This announcement coincides with the Mobile Suit Gundam 45th anniversary celebrations. The format of the game – whether purely physical or incorporating online play – remains undisclosed.

Complete 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 features popular actors Kanata Hongo and Kotoko Sasaki, along with former TV Tokyo announcer Shohei Taguchi. Hongo's participation is particularly noteworthy, given his well-known passion for GUNPLA and his involvement in the GUNPLA 40th Anniversary Project.

Anticipation is high amongst fans, drawing comparisons to Bandai's previous (now discontinued) TCGs, Super Robot Wars V Crusade and Gundam War. Many are already referring to this new game as "Gundam War 2.0." For the latest updates, be sure to follow the official GUNDAM TCG X (Twitter) account.
