Late last week, Namco Bandai formally announced the next videogame entry in the Gundam OO franchise for Japan. Following DS and mobile titles, the anime, which will be entering its second season in Japan this October, will next hit the PlayStation 2 through Mobile Suit Gundam OO Gundam Meisters.
Meisters promises the "high speed dynamic action" for which the Gundam video game adaptations are known. Players take control of a Gundam Meister and team up with a partner Meister when heading out on a mission. In the main mission mode of play, the game replicates the full first season of the anime along with some original game-only episodes.
Namco Bandai is teaming up with Sunrise for the title. The anime version's producer will be working on original animated movies, including a new intro and ending. The title will also feature full voice from the show staff.
Four Gundam Meisters have been confirmed for the mission mode: Setsuna F Seiei, Tieria Erde, Allelujah Haptism, and Lockon Stratos. Likewise, four Gundam units have been confirmed so far: Gundam Exia, Gundam Virtue, Gundam Kyrios, and Gundam Dynames.
Japanese players can look forward to Meisters on October 16.
