Bandai Spirits has just announced an exciting new addition to the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise: Gundam Assemble! This tabletop miniatures game combines the strategic depth of wargaming with the iconic mecha of the Gundam universe, offering fans a unique way to experience their favorite series. It’s certainly caught the interest of some of our group. Here’s an entry from one of our previous painting challenges:
Yeah, I reckon we’re going to see some local interest in Gundam Assemble…
What is Gundam Assemble?
Gundam Assemble is a miniatures game that uses approximately 5 cm-sized Gunpla models to recreate epic battles from the Gundam universe. Each unit has its own game settings that reflect the characteristics of the Mobile Suit, allowing players to enjoy scenarios that follow the original story or create new, divergent situations.
Initial Reveal
The announcement was made at the Bandai Card Games Fest 24-25 – World Tour in Orlando, Florida. Bandai released a promotional teaser video and an official website for the project, generating a lot of excitement among fans. The game features iconic Mobile Suits such as the RX-78-2 Gundam, MS-06S Zaku II, and Wing Gundam Zero, each with unique abilities that reflect their in-universe characteristics.
Gameplay Highlights
Gundam Assemble promises to offers a balanced mix of strategy and storytelling. Players will engage in scenarios inspired by key events in the Gundam universe or create custom battles that bring together Mobile Suits from different timelines. The game promises to provide a robust ruleset, though specific details on gameplay mechanics and product specifications are yet to be announced.
Why Gundam Assemble Stands Out
Gundam Assemble incorporates the rich lore and visual appeal of the Gundam franchise. The miniatures are modeled with Bandai’s trademark precision, capturing the essence of the Mobile Suits down to the smallest detail. This makes the game as much a collector’s delight as a gaming experience. I think this will really be the major selling point of the game. The Gunpla fandom is massive, and these little Gundams will go down an absolute storm with them.
What’s Next?
Bandai has stated that more detailed rules and product specifications will be announced soon, building anticipation for the game’s release. Fans can look forward to learning more about how the game balances strategy, accessibility, and its deep ties to Gundam lore.
