Bandai Namco has announced that the Bandai Namco Cross Store and THE GUNDAM Base Mall of America locations will open on October 30. These stores were originally set to open on September 30th, but the opening was postponed a few days before then. Now, a month later, the Minneapolis locations are finally set to open.
The Bandai Namco Cross Store will feature shops with popular anime, figures, toys, collectibles, and card games, all alongside a Namco arcade. THE GUNDAM BASE will have exclusive model kits and merchandise, alongside immersive displays and hands-on experiences. Enjoy both stores when they finally open on October 30 at The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Next year, Bandai Namco Filmworks’ new Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO anime series will premiere in April 2027 in North America and Japan. In Japan, Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO will air on various TV networks. According to Bandai Namco Filmworks, Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO is part of the RG Project cross-media initiative. RG Project also includes the upcoming Gundam Rogue Orbit game, which shares the same world settings while portraying it from “different ways and visions.” RG Project is also on a new timeline separate from the first Gundam anime’s “Universal Century” timeline.
