Bandai Namco Filmworks and Sunrise made waves at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 with the announcement of an all-new Mobile Suit Gundam project: Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO. This exciting new TV anime is part of the ambitious RG Project, a multimedia universe that spans anime, games, and potential films. Spearheaded by Kenji Kamiyama, known for his work on Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, this series promises to bring a fresh twist to the beloved Gundam franchise.

Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO is set in a new timeline, beginning 100 years before the events of the highly anticipated game, Gundam Rogue Orbit. The series explores a post-apocalyptic world where humanity must grapple with an existential threat known as the Apocalypse. This cosmic event forced humanity to abandon Earth, marking the start of a new era dubbed A.A.—After Apocalypse. The anime follows Azumi Ray, a boy born on the Moon, as he awakens in A.A. 45, in a universe where life has never been known without the lingering shadow of the Apocalypse.

Kenji Kamiyama brings a fresh narrative to the Gundam universe, questioning and reimagining fundamental elements like the Earth Federation, Newtypes, and Minovsky particles. Kamiyama’s unique vision allows fans to experience Gundam in an entirely new light, opening the door for creative storytelling and world-building. His excitement and passion for creating an original Gundam series are palpable and promise an engaging journey for both new and longtime fans alike.

The anime and the game together offer a layered experience, presenting the Gundam universe from various perspectives and inviting fans to immerse themselves in this new world. As the timeline progresses from the anime’s events to those in the game, the narrative unfolds, offering players the chance to make impactful choices that shape the future of this shared universe.
