Gundam Evolution Ceases Operations

Bandai Namco has revealed that Gundam Evolution, a free-to-play game, will be discontinued. The title, which is based on the popular robot franchise, is set to go offline on November 29. Initially launched on PC in September 2022, with console releases following two months later, the game aimed to unite fans of first-person shooters and the Gundam series. According to executive producer Kazuya Maruyama, "Our goal was to create an authentic Gundam FPS experience that could be enjoyed globally by bringing together fans of both genres." He added, "Regrettably, we have come to realize that we can no longer provide a service that meets the expectations of our players. We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to all who have played and supported the game up to this point."
