Bandai Namco Entertainment has announced that the upcoming Unreal Engine 5 anime, Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance, will premiere on October 17. The series will be available to watch on Netflix. Further, Bandai Namco are developing a game adaptation within Fortnite.
Requiem for Vengeance was initially announced in July 2023. It’s announcement comes in the wake of Gundam: The Witch from Mercury‘s success. Released in 2022, the anime is one of the most successful Gundam projects of the last few years. Additionally, a new VR project titled Gundam: Silver Phantom will also be releasing soon. Requiem for Vengeance is set to be a departure from what Witch from Mercury has established, however.
