Contrary to speculation, SD Gundam G Generation Eternal is very much alive and kicking! A network test is imminent, opening up 1500 slots to US-based players. Applications are now open, offering a first glimpse of the game from January 23rd to 28th, 2025. This marks the first time the test will include players from the US, alongside Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong.

The game, a new addition to the strategy JRPG franchise, lets players command a vast roster of pilots and mecha from the iconic Gundam universe. The SD Gundam series, known for its "super deformed" chibi-style mecha, boasts an incredibly extensive cast of characters and machines, a hallmark of the franchise. While Gundam's popularity extends globally, the SD Gundam line may be less familiar to some; these stylized kits once even surpassed the popularity of the original designs!

US Release on the Horizon

Gundam fans are eagerly anticipating this latest installment. However, Bandai Namco's track record with the series has been somewhat inconsistent, with past titles facing quality concerns or premature cancellations. Let's hope SD Gundam G Generation Eternal (quite the mouthful!) breaks the mold and delivers a high-quality experience.
