At the end of September 2024, Bandai Namco announced it was working on a Mobile Suit Gundam Trading Card Game. Now there’s a new trailer showing some of the cards and playing field. In that video, the company also confirmed it will debut in 2025. However, a Gundam Card Game Edition Beta will launch on December 7, 2024.
This video builds upon the original teaser announcement. That first one hinted at the logo and atmosphere. One of the initial cards shown this time is the Gundam RX-78-2. It appeared alongside what looked to be a card with the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam on it. Both Unit and Pilot cards will appear in the game, with a Pilot card that looked like it featured Amuro Ray art on it appearing at the 40 second mark behind the RX-78-2. A Banagher Links Pilot card is highlighted 43 seconds into the video, followed by what seemed to be a Wing Gundam and a take on XVX-016 Gundam Aerial.
Here’s the full teaser for the card game. It features English text, and the announcement confirmed that the game will be available in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese when it launches.
The official site featured a few other cards. If you check the Gundam Card Game Edition Beta page, it shows the Gundam RX-78-2, XXXG-01W Wing Gundam, and GAT-X105 Strike Gundam Unit cards and Amuro Ray and Heero Yuy Pilot cards. A The Witch and the Bride Command card appeared and featured Suletta and Miorine on it.
The Gundam trading card game will launch worldwide in 2025, but the Gundam Card Game Edition Beta will appear before that on December 7, 2024.
