Gundam enthusiasts rejoice! The official announcement of a GUNDAM TCG has arrived! A promotional video was posted on September 27th on the official GUNDAM TCG X (formerly Twitter) account, launching the "#GUNDAM" global TCG project. This exciting news coincides with the Mobile Suit Gundam 45th anniversary, commemorating 45 years since the series debuted worldwide. The format (physical-only or with online capabilities) remains unconfirmed.
Comprehensive details will be revealed on October 3rd at 7 PM JST during Bandai's CARD GAMES Next Plan Announcement, livestreamed on Bandai's official YouTube channel.
