posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Bandai Namco Entertainment revealed on Thursday that it will add the God Gundam/Burning Gundam and the Master Gundam from Mobile Fighter G Gundam to its Gundam Versus game in the latter half of January. The game also added a "Battle Navi Set" as a free download on Friday, which features the characters Orga Itsuka, Fumika Andross, and Atra Mixta as battle navigators.
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.
Update: Bandai Namco Entertainment America announced on Thursday that the Burning Gundam and Master Gundam will join the game on January 23.
Disclosure: Bandai Namco Filmworks Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Bandai Namco Holdings Inc., is a non-controlling, minority shareholder in Anime News Network Inc.
