A new Gunpla series miniature game GUNDAM ASSEMBLE is set to be released! A collaboration with Gundam Card Game is also planned!
According to Gundam.info and the global Bandai Hobby Site, Gundam Assemble will feature 5-centimeter (about 2-inch) figures on a hexagonal base. The different figures will have “abilities that reflect their unique characteristics, allowing players to enjoy scenarios that follow the original story, or diverge into situations that transcend the world of Mobile Suit Gundam series…” Gundam.info teases that the RX-78-2 Gundam, Wing Gundam Zero EW, Gundam Aerial, and other Gundam mobile suits will appear in the game. The images on Gundam.info include the RX-78-2 Gundam, Wing Gundam Zero EW, Gundam Aerial, Zaku-II Char Custom, Kapool, and the Archangel-class ship Dominion.
