This December, even more suits are being added to the ever growing Gundam Versus lineup. The first is Aegis Gundam, last seen in Gundam SEED Destiny: Rengou VS ZAFT II Plus and a unit that fans of the VS series have been requesting for awhile. It’s a 300 cost unit that brings the usual Mobile Armor shenanigans of mobility and firepower, including its infamous shield throw as a sub attack straight from the anime.

Next is the GM Sniper II White Dingo Ver. from the Dreamcast game Mobile Suit Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise From The Ashes. As expected, it will be bringing the sniping toolset to the 200 cost series of units.

Another return from the EXVS series is Gundam AGE-2. One of the better 400 cost units in the previous edition, the AGE-2 mixes up the opponents with its maneuverability by switching between it’s normal and G-Strider mobile armor mode. As one of the titular AGE units, it can also switch to the Double Bullet equipment, giving the AGE-2 more firepower while sacrificing some speed.

Last but not least is the Mudrock Gundam, first playable in Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front. It will be a heavy firepower-based 300 cost unit looking similar to the Guncannon, but with more ballistic attacks.
All these suits will be dropping in December with the AGE-2 and Mudrock on December 5 and the Aegis and GM Sniper II on December 12.
Another unit to look out for that may be on the horizon soon is the Kaempfer, too. It was recently announced that it will be joining the Maxi Boost ON roster. As time has shown us, both Gundam Versus and Maxi Boost ON have been sharing recently released units, so here’s to hoping it will pop up in the near future!

Phantom Gundam and Nightingale will be coming to Gundam Versus on September 26 in Japan. As mentioned in our previous post, Phantom Gundam is a 400 cost unit and is taking full advantage of its unique abilities along with its mobile armor and Phantom Light mode. The Nightingale, added back in EXVS Maxi Boost, returns as a 500 cost unit with its projectile heavy arsenal, suppressing the enemies with a bombardment of multiple funnel attacks and other beam weaponry that fills lots of space.
What will be interesting to see is if these units are already available as DLC for the Western launch on September 29. We’ve heard no information regarding pricess or whether or not there will be some kind of season pass as well. Considering the current cost per unit in Japan and the amount of units that have already been released, it’s a pretty tall ask for players who are jumping into Gundam Versus and are wanting to get the whole package.
As always, we’ll keep you informed of new information as it comes in. Check out the trailers for Phantom Gundam and Nightingale below and let us know what you think!

As we await the upcoming Western release of Gundam Versus on September 29 on top of unreleased units such as Pale Rider and Gundam Guison Rebake, Phantom Gundam has been announced as a future DLC unit from Gundam Ace magazine. This will be the first time it makes a video game appearance.
The Phantom Gundam comes from the manga Crossbone Gundam Ghost, a sequel to the Crossbone Gundam: Steel Seven manga and set around the events of the V Gundam anime near the Jupiter Sphere. The Phantom Gundam is a prototype unit from the Jupiter Foundation using Minovsky Drive technology stolen from the SNRI, the institute that created the F91 and F97 Crossbone series Gundams. Essentially, the Phantom Gundam can generate wings of light similar to the V2 Gundam, but due to imperfect reverse engineering, it cannot match it performance wise. With similar cooling tech used in the F91 to prevent overheating, the Phantom’s emissions create a ghost like effect, thus the name.

In terms of arsenal, it uses Butterfly Busters which double as a beam handgun and short range beam knife and a Phantom Light beam sword. Expect a lot of I-Field shenanigans as well, as the Phantom’s combination of Minovsky Drive and I-Field generators allows it to supercharge a lot of its beam arsenal and defensive capabilities. Expect to see the Muramasa blaster in some form or fashion as well either as a melee attack or as part of a Striker Assist with the Crossbone X-0. It also has a mobile armor mode called Mirage Oiseau, that will no doubt provide more mobility and attack options for the unit.
There isn’t much more information about the unit in terms of cost as well, but I’m guessing it will be a 400 cost as there is a more powerful version of the Phantom in the manga, the Ghost Gundam. Hopefully we’ll see some enemy Crossbone units as well. Until then, we’ll keep you updated as more info hits!

Set to release on July 27, the next update for Gundam Versus will add ranked battles, extra trial missions, and a boss survival mode. In typical ranked battle fashion, you team up with another player online to take on the rest of the world to climb the Gundam Versus ranking ladder. You can also request what team cost partner you’re looking for, aside from holding a spot for an invited friend in the Team Hold option.
In Trial Mode and Ultimate Battle, new missions and a boss survival has now been added respectively. Interestingly, the extra battles that occur in between the survival waves will also be updated. There will also be special extra battles that allow you to use DLC units for free for a limited time! And similar to the arcade versions of the EXVS series, new trial mode missions will feature upcoming DLC units as enemies as well.
Another thing to note is that there will be some balance changes to suits, strikers, and stages as well. Check out the update video below and let us know what you think!

At Anime Expo in Los Angeles this weekend, the Gundam Versus team announced the game will be releasing in North America on September 29, 2017. For those of you who have a bit more patience than myself, this is only three months after the Japanese release on July 6. We can assume we won’t see a Premium G Sound version due to music licensing, but it’s nice to finally get a definitive release date for the Western crowd.
Until then, check out the latest addition to the roster, Gundam Virtue! Its last appearance in a VS game was in Gundam VS Gundam Next Plus. And of course, it can cast off its armor and become Gundam Nadleeh! In the Japanese version, it is a DLC unit that will cost 602 yen, but will be free for those that preorder the game. Check out the video below and let us know what you think!
