Console users will have to wait for a while
Would-beGundampilots will get to show off their skills this month on PC.Gundam Evolution, a free-to-play team-based shooter is going live onSteamon September 21 for North America.
The newGundamgame takes a six-on-six, hero-based approach to the wide, wide expanse of theGundamuniverse. It’s a little bit ofOverwatchmixed in with mobile suits.
Gundam Evolutionwill feature mainstays from throughout theGundam-verse, duking it out on the field of battle. Today’s trailer spotlights a melee-configured Zaku with some hefty axe swings, the Mahiroo fromTurn A Gundam, and the titular Unicorn Gundam.
These, alongside classics from throughout the series, all have their own weapons and abilities they bring to the battlefield. Personally, I’m rooting for the Guntank. He may not be as shiny as something newer like the Barbatos, but darn it, the Guntank is cool.
Matches feature several objective-based modes, including Destruction, Domination, and Point Capture.

There will also be cosmetics to purchase, of course. So if you want to deck out your mobile suit to stand out from the crowd, feel free to do so. It worked for Char, after all.
