Gundam Rogue Orbit will feature explosive fast-paced battles set in sprawling environments, with players taking on enemy hordes, massive bosses, and seemingly insurmountable challenges, set against an engaging Sci-Fi backdrop. For Gundam fans, the title promises to deliver the emotionally charged moments and unforgettable action that have made the series one of the world’s most beloved entertainment franchises while also introducing a thrilling new direction for Gundam.

Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed new details for Gundam Rogue Orbit during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. The company unveiled the game’s connection to the upcoming anime Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO, a closer look at the worldview, and new information for Gunpla.

Special guests from the Gundam team from Japan attended the panel to highlight the RG Project, a new initiative that connects the upcoming anime Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO and GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT through a shared world. The project's worldview was created by director Kenji Kamiyama and author Toh Enjoe, establishing the foundation for a setting that will be expanded through a never-before-seen approach in the Gundam series. Players will experience the game as a Gundam pilot in an original story set beyond the events of the anime. Attendees also got a closer look at the official worldview synopsis: 

The three revelations delivered by the Autonomous Interstellar Object from another galaxy ushered in an age of unprecedented prosperity, allowing humanity to expand across the entire solar system.
Gravity Control. FTL Communication. Cognitive Materialization. Yet less than ten years after its discovery, the Object that had delivered these three revelations suddenly ran rampant, spawning an aggressive, self-proliferating ecosystem.
Humanity came to see this unknown ecosystem as the Apocalypse.
For three months, humanity fought the Apocalypse to a standstill in orbit above Earth. Forced to abandon the planet, humanity marked that year as A.A. 1—the first year After Apocalypse.
By A.A. 45, children born on the Moon and in space colonies have never known life without the Apocalypse.
And on the lunar surface, a boy named Ray Azumi awakens—

The presentation also revealed more details about the Gundam Helix, the high-mobility mobile suit piloted by ace pilot RE-X. In Gundam Rogue Orbit, players will suit up as RE-X to battle enemy hordes, massive bosses, and seemingly insurmountable challenges in fast-paced combat across sprawling battlefields. Designed with a strong focus on realism, Gundam Helix was crafted to feel like a weapon that could exist in the real world, while its waist and spinal design draw inspiration from Gundam ZERO in Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO.

Gundam Rogue Orbit tie-ins across the broader Gundam universe were also announced. Fans can look forward to the HG 1/144 GUNDAM HELIX Gunpla model kit at retailers, while the game's Collector's Edition will include the exclusive HG 1/144 ARK-10 GUNDAM HELIX (EARTH BLUE ver.). Gundam Rogue Orbit will also join the Gundam Card Game, with a promotional card featuring the game's key art to be distributed at events ahead of its inclusion in future products.
