Lastly, Gundam Breaker 4 launches on August 29, and players may pre-order the physical Launch Edition, digital standard edition, Digital Deluxe Edition, or Digital Ultimate Edition on all platforms. Here’s an overview of the game, via Bandai Namco:
Gundam Breaker 4, the legendary hack-and-slash action and model building game, takes place in a not-to-distant future where hobbyist builders use simulations to create custom suits and fight them in virtual battles. Players collect loot by breaking off pieces during combat, then use those pieces to build new, more powerful hybrid creations using the game’s customization options to take on more difficult challenges. The series will let players customize their Gunpla with more than 250 base kits, parts that can be acquired by defeating enemies and fighting battles that will feature Gunpla of different grades. The game introduces an all-new feature to the series, where players will be able to use two different weapons for unique combos in their quest for the best parts to build the perfect Gunpla.
In between battles, players get access to the deepest customization options yet in the franchise’s history. A robust mecha garage n lets players customize their creations with new parts as well as paint, decals, and weathering to make the ultimate mecha expression for GUNDAM fans. An all-new feature in the game, Diorama Mode, lets players construct elaborate scenarios with a variety of backgrounds, environmental elements, and special effects, and place and pose their Gunpla creations as highly articulable models to create memorable scenes. For the first time in the series, the game will feature English VO in addition to the original Japanese VO.
