Summary

Gundam: Rogue Orbit’s latest walkthrough spotlights high-mobility combat and mission structure.

Players can customize the Gundam Helix’s weapons, frame, skills and color scheme.

The game launches March 5, 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

Bandai Namco has released an in-depth gameplay walkthrough trailer for Gundam: Rogue Orbit, offering the most comprehensive look yet at the highly anticipated mech action game.

The newly dropped footage introduces players to the narrative setup, where they step into the cockpit as Rex, pilot of the Gundam Helix, to fight alongside a rag-tag crew against a mysterious, monstrous threat known as the Apocalypse. Previewing the core gameplay loop, the video follows Rex from a mission briefing aboard the special service craft Stellarvane down to the dusty, storm-swept surface of Mars, showcasing multi-directional, high-speed combat as the Gundam Helix blazes across the battlefield to overwhelm advancing enemy swarms.

Developed by Bandai Namco Studios, the story follows RE-X and a ragtag group of soldiers fighting for humanity’s survival against the mysterious Apocalypse threat, trading the franchise’s familiar large-scale human conflicts for encounters with enormous unknown enemies across planets and space.

First unveiled during Summer Game Fest 2026, Gundam: Rogue Orbit introduces an original universe separate from the franchise’s established anime timelines, positioning it as both a standalone entry point for newcomers and a new direction for longtime Gundam fans.

Gundam: Rogue Orbit launches March 5, 2027 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam.
