Overview
- Bandai Namco Filmworks formally launched the RG Project at San Diego Comic‑Con on Thursday and released a teaser for Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX‑ZERO that confirmed Kenji Kamiyama as director and series composer.
- The RG Project is a multi‑media shared universe that pairs the Kamiyama anime with the previously announced game GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT, with the anime set about 100 years before the game and both slated for 2027.
- The setting, called After Apocalypse, centers on an alien Autonomous Interstellar Object that first accelerates human technology and then spawns a self‑propagating ecosystem that devastates Earth and forces humanity into a new A.A. era.
- Confirmed creative credits include novelist Toh EnJoe on worldbuilding, production by SOLA ANIMATION, lead voice actor Takeo Otsuka as Ray Azumi, and composer Go Shiina for the anime; reports that Mick Gordon will score the game remain unconfirmed.
- Bandai Namco is positioning RG as a generational, cross‑format narrative that departs from established Gundam timelines and could change how the franchise launches new characters, mecha designs, and plotlines while many production and release details remain undisclosed.
