"SD Gundam G Generation Eternal US Network Test Opens in New Year"

Fans of the iconic mecha series, Gundam, have reason to celebrate as the highly anticipated SD Gundam G Generation Eternal, the latest installment in the strategy JRPG franchise, is far from dead. Contrary to the silence since 2022, the game is gearing up for an exciting network test that will welcome participants not only from Japan, Korea, and Hong Kong but also from the United States. With applications open until December 7th, this is a golden opportunity for 1500 lucky entrants to experience the game firsthand from January 23rd to January 28th, 2025.

In the SD Gundam series, players assume the roles of various pilots from the Gundam universe, engaging in grid-based strategic battles. The term "various" is an understatement here, as the series is renowned for including an extensive roster of mecha and characters from across the franchise.

While the Gundam franchise enjoys global recognition, the SD Gundam line, which stands for "super deformed," might be less familiar to some. These are smaller, stylized model kits that allow fans to assemble adorable, compact versions of their favorite mecha. At their peak, these kits were so popular that they even outshone the original models.

Coming to America

There's no doubt that Gundam enthusiasts will eagerly embrace the latest addition to the SD Gundam series. However, a common complaint among fans is the inconsistent quality of Bandai Namco's games for the series, with some titles being prematurely discontinued. Here's hoping that SD Gundam G Generation Eternal (a title that might give you repetitive strain injury just to say) will stand out as one of the franchise's stronger offerings.
