"SD Gundam G Generation Eternal to Launch US Network Test in New Year"

Fans of the iconic mecha series, Gundam, have reason to celebrate as the latest installment in the strategy JRPG franchise, SD Gundam G Generation Eternal, is far from dead. Despite the silence since 2022, the game is gearing up for an exciting network test, and for the first time, it's not just limited to Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong—entrants from the United States are also welcome! With 1500 spots up for grabs, applications are now open until December 7th, offering lucky participants a chance to dive into the game from January 23rd to January 28th, 2025.

In the SD Gundam series, players assume the roles of various pilots from the Gundam universe, engaging in grid-based strategic battles. The term "various" is an understatement here, as the series is renowned for including an extensive roster of mecha and characters from across the franchise, making it a dream come true for Gundam enthusiasts.

While the Gundam franchise is globally recognized, the SD Gundam line, which stands for "super deformed," might be less familiar to some. These are smaller, stylized kits that allow fans to assemble adorable, compact versions of their favorite mecha. At their peak, these kits were so popular that they even outshone the original models!

Coming to America

There's no doubt that Gundam fans will eagerly embrace the newest addition to the SD Gundam series. However, a common complaint among fans is the inconsistent quality of Bandai Namco's games for the franchise, with some titles being prematurely discontinued. Here's hoping that SD Gundam G Generation Eternal (a mouthful, indeed!) will stand out as one of the franchise's stellar releases.

In the meantime, if you're craving more strategic gameplay, consider checking out Cristina Mesesan's review of Total War: Empire, which has been freshly ported to iOS and Android. See what this newcomer to the series thinks of Feral's latest adaptation!
