New information has been released about the mobile suits (MS) that will appear in the VR video "Mobile Suit Gundam: Phantom of the Silver Gray," based on the popular anime series "Gundam," revealing that the Nu Gundam from "Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack" will make an appearance. The Zaku II (Argent Keel spec), GM (Argent Keel spec), and Guncannon Heavy Type will also appear.
In addition to the main video that allows you to enjoy the story, "Phantom of the Silver Gray" will also feature "MR Content," a mixed reality operating system that seamlessly blends the real world with virtual elements. There is a battle mode in which MS appear in the user's space and they can enjoy battling approaching enemies, and a gallery mode in which they can warp from the real world to a dock that stores MS and see them up close. The lineup will include six MS, including the Sazabi, Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility, and Zeong.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Phantom of the Silver Gray is set in U.C. 0096 (Universal Century 0096), and the protagonist is a member of Argent Kiel, an unofficial mercenary organization that is neither the Federation nor Zeon. The organization is tasked with assassinating Azami Megine, a high-ranking Federation official who is in collusion with Zeon, but just before the mission, the Federation's Jegan unit attacks the fleet, and in the midst of the chaos, the "silver Gundam" that they secretly own is released into space.
The film is co-produced by Bandai Namco Filmworks and Atlas V, a French VR production company that has worked on "Gloomy Eyes" and "Battlescar." Kenichi Suzuki will be the director, Ryoji Kansai will be in charge of the script, Tsukasa Kotobuki will be in charge of character design, and Mika Akitaka will be in charge of mechanical design. Shoko Nakagawa will sing the theme song "ACROSS THE WORLD." It was released for Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3 at 2:00 AM on October 4th.
