Bandai Namco Filmworks has officially announced Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO, adding another major project to the long-running mecha franchise. The reveal took place at San Diego Comic-Con, where the company confirmed the new anime is scheduled to arrive in 2027.
What makes this announcement stand out is its setting. Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO will take place in an all-new universe, giving the series a fresh starting point rather than continuing an existing timeline. That approach suggests the project is meant to expand Gundam in a new direction while still building on the brand's established appeal.
The anime is also tied to the recently announced game Gundam Rogue Orbit. While full story and character details have not been outlined in the available information, the connection points to a broader cross-media plan linking the new series and game under the same banner.
For Gundam fans, the news signals that Bandai Namco is preparing a new era for the franchise with both animation and gaming in mind. With a 2027 release window now in place, Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO is positioned as one of the next big entries in Gundam's ever-growing lineup.
