Full text

A new Mobile Suit Gundam anime, titled Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO, has been announced, which will coincide with the previously announced video game Gundam Rogue Orbit.

The brief teaser trailer, which can be viewed above, was released during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con. Per the official logline: "For three months, humanity fought the Apocalypse to a standstill in orbit above Earth. Forced to abandon the planet, humanity marked that year as A.A.... the first year After Apocalypse. By A.A. 45, children born on the Moon and in space colonies have never known life without the Apocalypse. And on the lunar surface, a boy named Ray Azumi awakens."

The new anime is set to tie-in with Gundam Rogue Orbit, which was announced in June. Per Polygon , the anime "takes place first chronologically and is set 100 years before the game." Kenji Kamiyama, who is best known for Ninth Jedi from Star Wars Visions and Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim, serves as writer and director.

The franchise first kicked off with the Mobile Suit Gundam anime series in 1979, which would go on to spawn numerous series, movies, manga, novels, and video games.

Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO is due out sometime in 2027, as is Gundam Rogue Orbit. For more on what to watch, check out our guide to the best anime to watch this year and keep up with new anime .
