The recent blunder on Amazon.co.jp has been confirmed in the latest issue of Famitsu. It also seems that this is, as the Japanese fanbase predicted, another entry (of sorts) into Artdink’s very successful Gundam Battle series. Interestingly Assault Survive appears to be taking Capcom’s lead and featuring mobile suits from outside the Universal Century timeline (much like in Gundam vs Gundam). As previous Gundam Battle games worked their way through the traditional UC narrative. The two new series that will be featured are Gundam Seed and Gundam 00, though the mecha from V Gundam will also make a guest appearance (as they were unfortunately absent in Gundam Battle Universe).
Separately to this news, Famitsu also hinted at that a popular mecha action game will be announced in the next issue. Our bet is that it is a new Armored Core game, as another game is about due.
Update: The official site is now up and Famitsu online has a breakdown of the game.
I think a new Armored Core is already in the works. Also, a new SRW game has already been “announced,” persay, but since that series is more strategy than action, I’m thinking is probably is the next Armored Core.
Though, I can always hope they were lying about ACE 3 being the final one…
Given that the other games in that line have all been great, I imagine this one will be no different. The the addition of V, SEED, and 00, this should be quite an interesting mashup of characters.
