Gundam Card Game will be formally available with four starter decks in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese simultaneously worldwide in July 2025. Bandai made the announcement at the Bandai Card Games Fest 24-25 in Orlando, Florida.
After making the initial announcement in October 2024 and a beta release in December 2024, Bandai will release the formal starter decks on July 12, 2025, at 1,320 yen (~$8.40) each. Each deck will come with 50 cards and sheets for the playing mat and damage counters.
Here are the details on the first four starter decks for Gundam Card Game:
- ST01 – Heroic Beginnings: A well-balanced Blue and White deck that will pair the first Mobile Suit Gundam with The Witch From Mercury.
- ST02 – Wings of Advance: A Green and Blue deck featuring the Gundam Wing sub-series with a Resource-based gameplay emphasis.
- ST03 – Zeon’s Rush: A Red and Green deck featuring Zeon characters and Mobile Suits throughout the Universal Century that will rely on mass deployments of light-cost units.
- ST04 – SEED Strike: A White and Red deck focusing on the Gundam SEED sub-series with Link Units that feature Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala.
In addition, Bandai will release several accessories related to the new TCG on the same day as the starter decks’ releases. The company will sell a set of 70 card sleeves at 880 yen (~$5.60), a deck case with two promo cards at 1,320 yen (~$8.40), and a set of six damage counter dice at 1,650 yen (~$10.50).
The company wrapped up the announcements by teasing the first booster pack’s release on July 26, 2025. A single pack will cost 220 yen (~$1.40) and contain seven extra cards. The first booster pack, titled GD01 – Newtype Rising, will feature units and characters from Universal Century titles like Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam Unicorn.
