Unveiled during the anniversary week of the original Mobile Suit Gundam Seed’s release 21 years ago, Bandai Namco has released a brand new trailer and visual key art poster for “Mobile Suit Gundam Freedom” - the long awaited sequel film to Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny that takes place on Cosmic Era 75 and sees protagonists Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, Lacus Clyne, Cagalli Yula Athha, Shinn Asuka, and more return as they engage against new threats and the film tackles the theme “freedom vs destiny”.
The trailer also showcases the new mobile suits appearing in the film - the “Rising Freedom Gundam” and “Immortal Justice Gundam”, which both have the ability to transform into “Bird Mode” ala Gundam Wing Zero. In fact, the Rising Gundam’s color scheme is also reminiscent of the Zeta Gundam. We’ll just have to wait and see how these new MS fit into the story when the film releases first in Japan on January next year.
