SEED FREEDOM ZERO Panel, takes place on October 8 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT at the convention's Main Stage. A worldwide stream on GUNDAM CHANNEL INTL is scheduled for 3:45 p.m. EDT on October 8, but it will not be a live broadcast or recording of the panel; it will deliver key updates separately. SEED FREEDOM ZERO is a prequel to the 2024 theatrical film Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM, based on a scenario written by Chiaki Morosawa, Shigeru Morita, and director Mitsuo Fukuda during that film's planning. The theatrical release was announced at Gundam Conference SPRING 2026 in May 2026.","whyItMatters":"The separate worldwide stream, rather than a live feed of the panel, signals Bandai Namco Filmworks is treating the NYCC presentation as a controlled reveal, with the same information repackaged for global audiences hours later.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGiveaways for NYCC attendees include a T-shirt, a \u0026#34;Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO\u0026#34; poster, a promotional Gundam Card Game card featuring the same mobile suit, a Gunpla shopping bag, and a Gundam introduction book.
