Gundam
Gundam's current release slate is dominated by Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO, which opens in theaters on January 15, 2027, and by the RG Project, the 50th anniversary plan pairing an anime and a game in one shared universe under director Kenji Kamiyama. Retail and toy lines tied to both are already taking reservations, with most shipping between late 2026 and 2027.

The newest Gundam work is Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO, and it is being built as two products at once. Director Kenji Kamiyama says the RG Project is a 50th anniversary plan to launch an anime and a video game in one shared universe, and he describes the hard part as writing anime that starts from building a universe and a game that starts from gameplay, then making both sit in the same setting. The anime side is already drawing retail response: the HG 1/144 Gundam ZERO ranked first in an Amazon Hobby new-arrivals chart compiled on October 19, 2026, and the FW GUNDAM CONVERGE #31 set includes two Gundam ZERO versions from the work.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO, which opens in theaters on January 15, 2027, carries the other half of the slate. HG 1/144 kits are on reservation, including the Gouf Ignited Custom at 3,190 yen for April 2027. The Infinite Justice Gundam in its SEED FREEDOM ZERO version is due from METAL ROBOT Spirits in January 2027 at 19,800 yen, and an Ichiban Kuji lottery tied to the film starts January 16, 2027, with MASTERLISE figures of Shinn Asuka, Lunamaria Hawke and Leonard Burwey. SEED FREEDOM MSV began in the December issue of Monthly Hobby Japan on October 23, introducing simplified production versions of the Rising Freedom and Immortal Justice.
Beyond the two film projects, the toy and apparel side runs on its own calendar. STRICT-G has several releases in the same window: ALPHA INDUSTRIES jackets for Amuro Ray and Judau Ashta, NEW ERA caps and Char's Counterattack bags, and CWU-36/P flight jackets in Earth Federation and Zeon colorways for October 24. Premium Bandai has reissues and new molds spread across Master Grade, High Grade and candy lines, with the MG Seravee Gincks at 6,050 yen and the MG Superbia GN-X at 6,050 yen both set for March 2027. Retail is also expanding: THE GUNDAM BASE SHIBUYA opens November 20, 2026, and a Gundam Base pop-up runs in Takaoka from November 15, 2026 to January 6, 2027.
Two film and game projects sit at the edges. Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash - The Witch of Circe gets a disc release on January 27, 2027, with a limited re-screening from December 11. Gundam Blitz Order, an RPG-style idle simulation game, has a network test scheduled for November 18 to 24, and GUNDAM ASSEMBLE, the miniature board game, releases worldwide on October 31, 2026, after a launch tour at SHIBUYA TSUTAYA.
