Bandai Namco Announces Gundam RG XARX-ZERO for 2027
Bandai Namco Filmworks has announced Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO as the next entry in the RG Project, a new multimedia initiative that ties anime, games, and other media into a shared universe. The series, directed by Kenji Kamiyama with sci‑fi setting supervision by Toh EnJoe, is set roughly 100 years before the upcoming game Gundam Rogue Orbit and takes place in the After Apocalypse timeline. The protagonist Ray Azumi pilots the Gundam ZERO as humanity expands across the solar system after the three Revelations, with the story centered on the emergence of the Apocalypse and a pivotal shift in human destiny. Production is handled by SOLA ANIMATION, with Bandai Namco Filmworks confirming involvement across Gunpla kits and figure lines to accompany the project, and a 2027 premiere window for the anime. The RG project’s anime and Rogue Orbit share a continuous timeline, allowing fans to experience interconnected narratives across media formats. Additional staff details, release plans, and cast were highlighted as forthcoming, underscoring the broader rollout of the new Gundam universe.
