posted on by Justin Piselli
Bandai Namco Entertainment began streaming two videos for its Gundam Versus game on Thursday. The videos introduce two new playable mobile suit DLC: RX-78-6 Mudrock Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front PlayStation 2 game and Gundam AGE-2 from the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE television anime series. Both mobile suits will be available on December 5.
The game shipped in Japan on July 6, while Bandai Namco Entertainment released the game in North America on September 29.
Unlike other games in the series, Gundam Versus is not adapted from an arcade game, but was developed with the PlayStation 4 console in mind. The game contains the series' familiar two-on-two battles, but has other game modes. The game features Boost Action (including boost dash, boost step, and new boost dive), Striker Select, and Awakening battle systems. For the first time in the series the game has a six-person online multiplayer feature.
