Gundam enthusiasts rejoice! An official GUNDAM TCG has been announced! A promotional video was posted on the official GUNDAM TCG X (formerly Twitter) account on September 27th, launching the "#GUNDAM" global TCG project. This announcement coincides with Mobile Suit Gundam's 45th anniversary, celebrating 45 years since the series debuted globally. The format (physical-only or with online play) remains unconfirmed.
Complete details will be revealed on October 3rd at 7 PM JST during Bandai's CARD GAMES Next Plan Announcement livestream on the official Bandai 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 among fans, reminiscent of Bandai's past TCGs like Super Robot Wars V Crusade and Gundam War (both discontinued). Many are excitedly referring to the new game as "Gundam War 2.0." For the latest updates, follow the official GUNDAM TCG X account.
