posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Bandai Namco Entertainment began streaming two videos for its Gundam Versus game on Thursday. The videos introduce two new playable mobile suit DLC: RGM-79SP GM Sniper II from the Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise From The Ashes Dreamcast game and the GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam from the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed television anime series. Both mobile suits will be available on December 12.
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.
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.
