Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for the free-to-play shooter Gundam Evolution, showcasing the next Mobile Suit to join the fray. It’s Hyperion Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED X Astray and will be available when Season 3: Defencer goes live. Check out its abilities in the trailer below.
Along with a Beam Submachine Gun, the Hyperion Gundam has a shield on its left hand that it can use to block damage. Its G Maneuver and Skill is the “Armure Lumiere,” which creates a 360-degree light wave barrier. It can cover allies while moving, providing strong defensive capabilities. Hyperion can also deploy energy drills and rush at the enemy to deal massive damage.
Season 3: Defencer will be available on February 1st after server maintenance, scheduled for 4:30 to 9 PM PST. Players won’t be able to matchmake for Casual or Ranked matches half hour before the maintenance period, so keep that in mind. For more details on Gundam Evolution, check out our review here.
