Good news for Gundam fans! SD Gundam G Generation Eternal, the latest strategy JRPG in the franchise, is alive and well, and preparing for a network test! This test will include players from the US, in addition to Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong.
Applications are open until December 7th, with 1500 lucky participants gaining access to the game from January 23rd to 28th, 2025. This is a significant opportunity for Western fans to experience this latest installment.
SD Gundam games put players in command of numerous pilots and mecha from the expansive Gundam universe, engaging in grid-based strategic battles. The series is renowned for its vast roster of characters and mobile suits.
While the Gundam franchise itself enjoys global recognition, the "super deformed" (SD) Gundam line might be less familiar to some. These smaller, stylized kits offer a charming, compressed take on the iconic mecha, and were once even more popular than the original models!
US Release Hopeful
The anticipation for SD Gundam G Generation Eternal is high among Gundam enthusiasts. However, past Bandai Namco Gundam titles have had inconsistent quality or suffered premature cancellations. Let's hope this new entry avoids those pitfalls!
In the meantime, strategy game fans might enjoy Cristina Mesesan's review of the newly ported iOS and Android version of Total War: Empire – a great option for those looking for a similar strategic experience.
