Sunrise announced a new VR movie titled Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom. The studio will produce the title with Atlas V, which has created numerous VR titles in its portfolio. Astrea will publish the finished work on Meta Quest.
The website included a teaser trailer that is only viewable in Japan. However, Sunrise has also uploaded the same trailer on the GundamInfo YouTube channel, which is available worldwide. This trailer only shows the formation of the title’s logo and the confirmation of Meta Quest as its platform.
Sunrise has yet to provide more details about Silver Phantom, including whether the title will take place in the Universal Century or an alternate universe. The studio has multiple animation projects in the works that cater to both audiences. Other than the Gundam SEED Freedom movie, it has also confirmed a standalone anime adaptation of Iron-Blooded Orphans: Urdr-Hunt following the closure of the Iron-Blooded Orphans G mobile game. Sunrise is also working with Erasmus Brosdau to produce Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, a 3D animation movie with Unreal Engine 5 that will take place in the Universal Century.
The Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom VR movie will be available worldwide on Meta Quest. Sunrise has still yet to announce its release window as of this announcement.
