You'll have direct access to dozens of iconic machines from the franchise as you take them into battle across various maps and locations to fight other players. Enjoy the trailer and the stream here, as the game has yet to be given a launch window.

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation 3 is in Development

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation 3 is the anticipated sequel to the Battle Operation series, the epic free-to-play team combat game set in the Mobile Suit Gundam multiverse. Players enlist as a mercenary to pilot a wide variety of Mobile Suits as they navigate gritty, realistic battlefields alongside their allies. Beyond simply defeating enemy Mobile Suits in combat, players can exit the cockpit to battle on foot, planting base bombs, requesting support fire, and securing key battlefield objectives. The experience delivers a Gundam battle theater unique to the Battle Operation series, featuring combined combat between Mobile Suits and infantry and giving players true immersion.

Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation 3 features visually stunning environments, detailed avatar models, and high-definition Mobile Suit models. With an expanded Mobile Suit roster, the game will include content from multiple iconic Gundam universes, launching with Universal Century and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, with additional series set for future deployment. Players can also anticipate the arrival of fan-favorite "grunt" units like the BuCUE as the roster grows.

Core tactical team combat has been refined for a more dynamic era, with the introduction of "SP Skills" for every unit, making each Mobile Suit's distinctive identity more powerful than ever. Refinements from Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation 2 include a new User Interface and an all-new "Battle Assist" feature to simplify complex maneuvers, making it easier to pull off combos. Strategic "boots on the ground" infantry operations remain key to victory, and those who master the balance between pilot and machine dominate the battlefield.
