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.
Netflix describes the series in the following statement:
Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance is an all-new original animation composed of six 30-minute episodes focusing on the European front of the One Year War, which was the setting of the first Gundam series, Mobile Suit Gundam.
Produced in collaboration with SAFEHOUSE using Unreal Engine 5, the series is written by Gavin Hignight, who wrote the animated series Tekken: Bloodline and Transformers: Cyberverse, as well as the video game Marvel’s Spider-Man, and is directed by Erasmus Brosdau, who has also worked on the animated series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and the video games Star Citizen, Ryse: Son of Rome and the Crysis series.
