Last March, Bandai announced the project for Gundam Metaverse. In the recent Gundam Conference SPRING 2023 event, the official announcement revealed that the metaverse will be launched in October 2023, and it can be accessed via PC or mobile devices. However, the latter will have reduced functionality. In addition, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Gundam Build Fighters, a commemorative animation called Gundam Build Metaverse will be released with a total of three episodes.
In the world of Gundam Metaverse, there will be a virtual Gunpla EC store where fans can have a virtual shopping experience, purchase Gundam models, and receive related goods in the real world. Additionally, there will be various features and areas such as a Metaverse space for Gundam fans to freely communicate (with automatic translation and text-to-speech functions), the ability to scan real-life handmade Gundam models and view them in the Metaverse, an AI assistant that provides fans with various information on the Gundam series, and more.
