From the 2017 San Diego Comic Con Gundam Fighting Games Panel, Bandai Namco announced North American players (and probably Europe) will get to try out the Gundam Versus Open Beta on top of announcing pre-order bonuses prior to the September 29th release date. While there isn’t that much info on what the Open Beta entails and when it will start, it might follow the JP Trial version in terms of providing players with certain waves of playable units. As for the pre-order bonuses, all Western players who pre-order the game receive what Premium G Sound Edition players received when they pre-ordered that specific version. As always, we’ll let you know more information about the Open Beta when it arrives.

Videos: Gundam Versus Update 1.03 Adds Ranked Battles, Extra Trial Missions, And A New Survival Mode

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!

Videos: Gundam Versus Releasing in North America on September 29, Gundam Virtue Added To Roster

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!

As we get closer to the Japanese release of Gundam Versus on July 6, Bandai Namco have announced they’ll be sponsoring an official Gundam Versus side tournament with AnimEVO at EVO 2017. As you may know, Gundam Versus is set to launch in North American and European territories later this fall. What better way to expand into the community than at the biggest fighting game tournament! There have been EXVS Full Boost side tournaments the last couple of years thanks to Brett Young and the rest of the AnimEVO crew. But now with his help in partnering with Bandai Namco for Gundam Versus, there will hopefully be more of a spotlight on some of the great western players in a brand new game. EVO2017 runs from July 14 – 16, so stay tuned for some high level play!

Bandai Namco have released a 14-minute video showcasing all non-DLC playable units in Gundam Versus. From new additions such as Slave Wraith and Nemo to series veterans such as Zeta and Sazabi, the video provides quick snippets of the roster available out of the box. No new surprises as well as no footage of Hot Scramble Gundam or Gundam Barbatos Rex.

Don’t forget, you can also take part in the Gundam Versus Trial Ver. until July 1st with a rotating schedule of playable units. Be sure to check out the video below and let us know what you think in the comments!

Videos: New Gundam Versus PV Showcases Gameplay Modes, Barbatos Lupus as First DLC Unit, Trial Version in June

Bandai Namco have released a new video showcasing the upcoming game modes in Gundam Versus. Check out the highlighted modes below:

  • Free Battle – Set your battle parameters and play against the CPU to practice your skills. Essentially the Gundam Versus training room like previous versions.
  • Trial Battle – Tackle multiple routes based on Gundam lore and earn GP to level up your units and unlock pilots/strikers/emblems/navigators/etc. Similar to previous Mission Modes in Full Boost and EXVS.
  • Ultimate Battle – A survival game type where you battle waves of enemies with increasing difficulty. You can level up your characters stats after each wave. You’ll sometimes encounter an Extra Wave that has certain rule sets, such as a 3v3 match or Giant boss.
  • Casual Match – An online mode where you can choose either 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 matches and quickly thrown into matches with random players.
  • Player Match - The go-to game mode where you’ll create or play in lobbies of up to 18 players to compete in either 2v2 or 3v3 matches.
  • Ranked Match – Coming in a later patch, Ranked Match puts you in the familiar 2v2 setting with either a random partner or an online friend to earn points and climb up the global ranking ladder.

There are other post-launch plans for added content in Ultimate Battle. When it comes to the Western release, it will probably have a day 1 patch including all the post-launch free content similar to the western release of EXVS Force last year.

Later in the video, Gundam Barbatos Lupus is announced to be the first actual paid DLC unit (not counting first print Hot Scramble Gundam). Players who buy the Premium G Sound edition will be able to use it immediately for free.

A trial version of the game will also be available for download from the JP PSN store starting May 31. On every Thursday and Saturday from June 1 to July 1 between 21:00 – 22:00 JST, players will be able to play the trial version of Gundam Versus with a rotating set of units within that hour period. You will not need PS+ to participate in the trial. Hopefully as we get closer to the western release, they’ll provide something similar to NA and EU PSN players.

Let us know what you think of the content in the comments! For more details and a look at some of the new mobile suits in action such as the Slave Wraith, feel free to check out latest video below.

News: Gundam Versus Roster Adds Hi-Nu, Slave Wraith, Gelgoog HM, Guntank and Many More

As we get closer to the July 6th Japanese/SEA release of Gundam Versus, the latest Famitsu issue reveals 11 new units to the roster! Headlining the update includes the Hi-Nu Gundam from Char’s Counterattack: Beltorchika’s Children and the RX-79[G] Slave Wraith and Gelgoog HM from the PS3 title Gundam Side Stories. Both Side Stories units are brand new to the Gundam VS series and it’s interesting to see the roster start to branch out into the game spinoffs. This means we’ll most definitely see the Pale Rider and possibly it’s updated variant, the Todesritter, in the roster sometime down the line as well. Of course, with Hi-Nu joining the cast, the Nightingale is not too far behind.

While not listed in the article preview, we’ll also be seeing the addition of more 200 cost units. They include the Guntank, Rick Dias, Methuss, Dom, Hi-Zack, GM Custom, Re-ZEL, and Vigna Ghina. With this updated list including the ones listed on the official site so far, we’re now at 83 playable units confirmed. As in previous VS games, we do know a lot more are incoming especially as we haven’t seen the likes of 00 Raiser, Destiny, and God Gundam. As to whether or not they’re unlockable or part of a DLC plan is still up in the air. Let us know what you think of the latest roster additions below and what you’d like to see added!

Looks like the West will finally have another home console VS game on the way with Bandai Namco’s announcement of Gundam Versus coming to North America and Europe this Fall. Bandai Namco are also holding a contest where you can vote for the upcoming cover among the following four choices: RX-78/Barbatos, Unicorn/Nu, Exia/Full Armor Gundam, or Wing Zero/Freedom.

On top of this, they’ve also announced Altron Gundam, Gundam Epyon, and the Crossbone trio (X1, X2 Kai, X3) will be joining the roster. While the West will be getting the game a couple months after Japan, it’s still great to know that the rest of the world will be able to experience Gundam VS action without importing. Perhaps this will lead to a bigger presence at fighting game tournaments across the world as well. Be sure to check out the announce trailer below and let us know what you think!

Videos: Gundam Versus To Add New 3v3 Mode

As we get closer to Gundam Versus’ release on July 6, Bandai Namco have provided a new video showcasing gameplay and new game modes! The biggest takeaway from the video is the newly announced 3v3 mode. As the VS series has been traditionally 2v2, it will be interesting to see how unit balance shifts with this new mode. It also appears the team cost has been increased from 1000 to 1500 to accommodate the change in team size. As this mode is maintained as its own thing, don’t expect 3v3 to become the new standard just yet. But it would be nice to see this become a popular mode in conjunction with the usual 2v2 action we’re used to. Be sure to check out a quick glimpse of the gameplay at the 3:10 mark in the video below and let us know what you think!
