Bandai Namco Offers First Look at the Helix Gundam in Upcoming Rogue Orbit’ Game

The Story

Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced its upcoming Gundam: Rogue Orbit game with a new trailer. The video introduces a cinematic, high‑mobility action experience that expands the Gundam universe into a brand‑new timeline. It opens with sweeping shots of space colonies under siege, before cutting to the protagonist, RE‑X, piloting the newly revealed Gundam Helix. The visuals emphasize speed and agility, with fluid aerial maneuvers, melee strikes, and ranged weaponry showcased against swarms of enemy units and towering mechanical bosses

Bandai Namco describes the game as a cinematic, emotionally charged chapter designed to appeal to both longtime Gundam fans and newcomers. Comparisons have already been drawn to Armored Core due to the game’s visual style and emphasis on fast‑paced mech combat. Developed on Unreal Engine for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam, Gundam: Rogue Orbit is set for a global release sometime in 2027.
