On the official website, executive producer Kazuya Maruyama said, “It is with great sadness that we are announcing the conclusion of Gundam Evolution. We wanted to create a title that brought first-person shooter fans and Gundam fans together. We challenged ourselves to create an authentic Gundam first-person shooter game that could be played globally. Unfortunately, we have determined that it is no longer possible for us to provide a service that satisfies our players.”

The sale of EVO Coins, EC Pod Limited and updates to EC Pods, CAP Pods and Ticket Pods ends on July 26th, 6 PM PT. Any remaining EVO Coins can be used until the service ends, though there won’t be any refunds on the currency or other items and services. To unlock new upcoming units, players can earn Capital Points by logging in, participating in events and more.

There won’t be any new items purchasable with EVO Coins. On August 23rd, Season 6 goes live and adds a new unit and two new maps. Season 7 is the final one and adds another new unit and map. It starts on October 25th, and while Ranked matches will continue till the end of service, you can’t earn titles in Season 7.

While the company has revealed the Japanese launch date for Blue Protocol, players in the west will have to wait for longer, with the game’s release outside of Japan being delayed to 2024 (via Gematsu). Before its launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, however, the game is slated to get a closed beta test on PC some time in 2023.

The last time we got a look at Blue Protocol was a trailer showing off quite a bit of the upcoming title’s gameplay. The trailer showed off the third-person hack-and-slash RPG combat that we can expect to see from Blue Protocol. We also learned that, while most quests can be done solo, the game will also feature high-end challenges that are difficult and will need an entire team of players to tackle.

Blue Protocol is slated to have five playable classes, each with their own unique weapons, abilities, and playing styles. The game will also feature character customisation, as well as options to customise armour, clothing, and mounts.

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 a half hour before the maintenance period, so keep that in mind. For more details on Gundam Evolution, check out our review here.

Along with Nu Gundam (which you can see in action below), the two-month-long season has matchmaking improvements and adjustments to Ranked mode. New customization items, Supply Pod updates, Achievements, and Spectator Mode (PC-only, for now) are also coming. In late December, new event modes and campaigns will be added as part of Season 2’s latter half.

The in-game store is also getting a revamp, so stay tuned for more details. Gundam Evolution launched in September with 12 different Mobile Suits and ten maps. It received several more playable Suits as part of Season 1, like Gundam Unicorn and Mahiroo, and four new maps.

Each mobile suit, whether it’s the Gundam RX-78-2, Barbatos or Marasai, has unique abilities. Some excel in melee combat, while others are more suited to long-range combat. In addition to the base roster, there are five more mobile suits to unlock, including Gundam Unicorn and Mahiroo. Season 1 will also add four new maps.

New mobile suits and customization items are unlocked with Capital Points earned by playing the game or EVO Coins, which cost real money. Of course, one can unlock everything and receive four Weapon Skins, four Unit Skins and an Ornament by purchasing the DX Edition for 4180 EVO Coins.

Gundam Evolution launches on November 30th for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. Stay tuned for more details and updates in the coming weeks.

All of your favorites are here, from the iconic Gundam RX-78-2 to Gundam Exia (Mobile Suit Gundam 00) and Barbatos (Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans), and they’re quite faithful to the original designs. It’s worth noting that the models and environments in the trailer are to replicate scenes from their respective anime. The actual gameplay plays out differently, though you can still expect to use some classic abilities and weapons.

Gundam Evolution launches with 12 playable mobile suits and three modes: Domination, Destruction and Point Capture. Ten maps are also available, with four more coming in Season 1. There will also be three new Gundam – Unicorn Gundam, Zaku 2 (Melee Loadout) and Mahiroo. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Seasons last two months, and the developer plans to add new units every season. It also outlined cosmetics like Unit Skins, Weapon Skins, MVP Skins, Stamps and Ornaments. These are obtainable through Season Passes and Supply Pods. However, the game will launch with over 500 items, and two more customization categories – Character Select Animation and Portraits – are coming later.

Those who want to unlock all Mobile Suits right out of the gate can purchase the DX Edition for 4180 EVO Coins. The launch bundle includes all launch Mobile Suits along with Unicorn Gundam, Gundam Exia, Marasai (UC), Zaku 2 (Melee Loadout), and Mahiroo. You also get four Weapon Skins, four Unit Skins, and an Ornament.

Gundam Evolution is out on September 21st for PC and November 30th for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Xbox One in North America.

The 6v6 team-based shooter launches with 12 playable mobile suits, including Gundam Barbatos, Sazabi, Gundam RX-78-2, GM Sniper 2, and more. Three modes – Point Capture, Domination and Destruction – and ten maps will also be available.

Four new maps were unveiled during the briefing as part of Season 1. Harbor City and Wilderness Mining Field are Point Capture maps, with the former having out-of-bounds areas to knock enemies into. Guiana Highlands is a Domination map, while Security Terminal is a Destruction map.

Stay tuned for more details on Season 1, Season Passes, and more shortly. You can head here for more gameplay which showcases Gundam Exia and Marasai (UC) in action.

Between June 16th and 17th, the developer will announce participants for the network test. Those who own more than one console can also specify an alternate console to maximize the chances of earning a spot. The test will be available in the United States, Canada and Japan.

Of course, bugs and unexpected issues may occur so keep that in mind. The test period is also subject to change without notice. Though the console network test’s content is unknown, it may be similar to the PC test which allowed access to Mobile Suits like GN-001 Gundam Exia and the RMS-108 Marasai. The full game is slated to release later this year for free so stay tuned.

Gundam Exia uses the GN Beam Dagger and throws projectiles while attacking. It can also dash to melee enemies with its G-Maneuver, Trans-Am, amplifying its movement abilities and melee power. The Marasai uses the Fedayeen Rifle which can be scoped in to shoot enemies from a distance. However, it can also unleash the Sea Snake – which is otherwise used for grappling and immobilizing an enemy- to paralyze foes in an area.

Both Gundam Exia and the Marasai will be playable in the upcoming Steam network test on April 7th to 12th. Head here for more details. Gundam Evolution is slated to release worldwide this year for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, and Xbox One. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
