Producer Yuya Tomiyama and director Yoshiyuki Serizawa discussed the project in a joint media interview. The game's concept is a battle between a Gundam and an extraterrestrial life form called the Apocalypse, fought mainly with close-range weapons. Serizawa said the development team chose high-speed action to emphasize the feel of destroying parts of a giant enemy, and that Tactical Skills can interrupt any action to remove openings. The Gundam Helix changes appearance through exterior armor. Tomiyama said a straight run through the story takes about 20 hours, that a three-player co-op mission unlocks after the story, and that there is no photo mode. The game shares a worldview with the anime Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO.","whyItMatters":"Bandai Namco is positioning a mainline Gundam title around close-range high-speed action and photorealism rather than the simulation and ranged combat the series is known for, with a stated goal of reaching players outside Japan who have not picked up a Gundam game.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003ePricing for the launch breaks into three tiers: a Collector\u0026#39;s Edition at 15,840 yen, a Digital Deluxe Edition at 11,880 yen, and a Standard Edition at 8,910 yen. Development sits with a Bandai Namco Studios team that has worked on many prior Gundam games, and the interview was conducted by Hiroyuki Endo.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer Yuya Tomiyama and director Yoshiyuki Serizawa tie the close-range focus to the Apocalypse itself. Serizawa said the team emphasized \u0026#34;the feel of destroying parts\u0026#34; on a giant enemy, which pushed the design toward melee, something he called \u0026#34;rare for a Gundam game.\u0026#34; Weight still matters: the assault sword\u0026#39;s strong attack, the sword lance, and the recovery after attacks. A gauge-driven counter called Shift sits alongside Tactical Skills.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirector Kenji Kamiyama is involved in the worldview. Development staff sat in on scenario meetings for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO, and some art design is shared. The two works cover different eras but share common terms from the Apocalypse\u0026#39;s Three Gospels: gravity control, superluminal communication, and materialize. The waist design of the Mobile Suits shares a common mechanism.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerizawa is 55 and watched the original 1979 broadcast.
