Look, Gundam Online isn’t as big as Sony’s PlanetSide 2 in terms of players on a single map, but having 100 mechas on the same map is enough to make it the “biggest” game in Gundam’s history. Announced last year, the game is still currently in its Alpha test phase in Japan. Gamers will take on the role of a mobile suit pilot, either Earth Federation or Zeon forces, in the setting which took place during The One Year War (first Gundam anime). But do expect certain units from outside the timeline to appear though.
There are various modes in the Gundam Online, but the 52 Vs 52 (marketed as 100) map will of course be the main attraction. Players will be able to customize their own units and combat will take place on land and in the skies. I wonder if there will be underwater combat as well…
