Kenji Kamiyama Launches New Gundam Timeline With Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX‑ZERO

The project establishes an 'After Apocalypse' continuity that links a 2027 anime to a game set 100 years later as a platform to rethink core Gundam ideas.

Overview

  • Bandai Namco Filmworks announced Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX‑ZERO at San Diego Comic‑Con on July 23, 2026 and said the anime is slated for release in 2027.
  • The series inaugurates a new continuity called After Apocalypse that the company says shares a single, generation‑spanning world with the previously announced game Gundam Rogue Orbit and is set roughly 100 years before that game.
  • Kenji Kamiyama created the After Apocalypse universe and is directing and writing the anime with worldbuilding help from novelist Toh EnJoe and production by Sola Animation.
  • Key creative credits include Gundam design by Eiichi Shimizu, character design by STATO and Miyako Takasu, music by Go Shiina, and the lead role of Ray Azumi voiced by Takeo Otsuka.
  • The game Rogue Orbit was revealed at Summer Game Fest in June and is described on Steam as a 'high‑mobility action game' with composer Mick Gordon; both projects target 2027 releases but detailed schedules, episode counts, and gameplay specifics remain unannounced.
