The Gundam Breaker Battlogue Project is a project that aims to strengthen the connection between the GUNPLA-themed Gundam Breaker Series videogames and the GUNPLA Series. We will release newly-designed Gundam units both in the games and as GUNPLA.
All models in the HG Gundam Breaker Battlogue Series of GUNPLA that will go on sale as part of this project will be structurally redesigned and include joint parts that allow for various combinations of the head, torso, arms, and legs parts, so that users can enjoy customizing their one-of-a-kind GUNPLA just like they would do in the game.
Moreover, we plan on releasing limited edition GUNPLA for exclusive sale abroad, mainly in the United States.
We will also gradually release figures in North America, in addition to GUNPLA.
*It is still undecided whether or not the products made for the overseas market will go on sale in Japan.
Additionally, in order to strengthen the link between the game and the GUNPLA, a six-episode short movie series, Gundam Breaker Battlogue, will be produced, which will show this project’s original units in action. It will stream on Gundam Channel, Gundam’s official YouTube channel, within Japan, and on GUNDAM.INFO abroad.
In the areas in which the smartphone game app Gundam Battle: GUNPLA Warfare is available users can play a story mission that serves as a prequel for the short movie and further enjoy the world of Gundam Breaker Battlogue.
