Gundam Evolution is a free-to-play team-based first-person shooter featuring 6v6 PvP combat with playable mobile suits from across the Gundam multiverse. The game will offer three objective-based game modes: Point Capture, Domination, and Destruction. The title presents a unique set of challenges that will require teams to craft and execute formidable offensive and defensive strategies to emerge victorious.
In the first Season of Gundam Evolution, three new suits are being added to the already large roster. These include the Zaku II Melee loadout, Mahiroo, and Unicorn Gundam. With these new suits, this is how the roster will look as soon as the first season starts.
However, the Marasai, Gundam Exia, Zaku II Melee loadout, Mahiroo, and Unicorn Gundam must be unlocked via EVO coins or Captial Points. EVO coins are currency and are basically microtransactions, while Captial points are earned in-game.

We’ve had several hands-on with the game, and while we had some concerns about certain aspects, including balancing, we thought the game was solid. You can check out our Gundam Evolution impressions here. Needless to say, as both a fan of the beta and a massive Gundam fan for many years, I’m looking forward to playing this on both the PC and consoles when it releases.
So here’s me tossing in, if you need an extra player, look me up!
