Gundam Helix is the protagonist mobile suit of the upcoming action game Gundam Rogue Orbit. A 1/144 scale model kit of it, HG 1/144 Gundam Helix, is scheduled for release in January 2027.
Gundam Helix is the new mobile suit at the center of Gundam Rogue Orbit, an action game Bandai Namco Entertainment announced at Summer Game Fest 2026. The game is developed by Bandai Namco Studios and is set for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2027, with photorealistic graphics and high-speed combat.
The model side moved first on specifics. BANDAI SPIRITS Hobby Division opened the product page for HG 1/144 Gundam Helix, scheduled for January 2027 at 2,750 yen including tax, with pre-orders starting October 15. The kit's arm and leg flaps deploy, the sword has two forms, and the sword and rifle can mount on the backpack. Pre-orders open the same day the product page goes live, tying the kit to the game's launch window.
A separate Bandai Spirits Gundam figure brand, ABSOLUTE ACT, appeared at TOKYO Toy Show 2026 with a Strike Freedom Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY. That line is distinct from Gunpla and Metal Robot Spirits, and its first entry is scheduled for March 2027 at 16,500 yen including tax.
