Mecha diehards will soon live out their wildest giant-robot-wrecking fantasies in Gundam Evolution, a new competitive hero shooter based on the legendary franchise.
Gundam Evolution is a 6v6 competitive FPS similar to Overwatch, only it’s free-to-play and contains 1000 percent more giant mechs. It’ll release sometime this year for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. While there’s no international release date yet, network testing begins next month.
Gundam Evolution Closed Network Test details
Registration for Gundam Evolution’s network testing is open from March 9 through March 28. You only need to click on the “Request Access” button under playtest options on Gundam Evolution’s Steam page or the official website here. Closed network tests run from April 7 through April 12 for successful applicants. Please note that the beta is only available on PC.

There’s also a character showcase video that should give you an idea of what legendary Gundamn mechs are making it into the game.
“Rooted in the values of hope, peace, unity and victory, the essence of the Gundam brand is captured in full by Gundam Evolution,” Kazuya Maruyama, executive producer at Bandai Namco Online, said. “We cannot wait for franchise veterans of all ages–whose Gundam fandom may have sparked at different points in the franchise’s 40-year history–and newcomers alike to unite on the Gundam Evolution battlefield and duke it out in their favorite mobile suits from across the Gundam Series and beyond!”
Gundam Evolution has been out in Japan since last summer, but it’ll launch worldwide later in 2022.
