The game is already available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, but now it looks like a PC version is on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the game, players engage in 6vs6 online battles. Stages include ground maps like Port Base, Tropical Desert, Arctic Base, and City Ruins, along with space maps like Dark Space, Resource Satellite, and Space Fortress Interior. Battles unfold with players either piloting Mobile Suits or taking direct control of their pilot on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game features Mobile Suits from a range of different Gundam series, which are divided into General, Raid, and Support types. It\u2019s possible to acquire new Mobile Suits through gameplay, and the equipment and paint can be customized to create your own personal Mobile Suit.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/002-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/002-2-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/002-2-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/002-2-1-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/002-2-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/002-2-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/002-2-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/002-2-1-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/002-2-1-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/002-2-1-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-2-2.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-2-2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-2-2-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-2-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-2-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-2-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-2-2-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-2-2-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/001-2-2-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Along with the announcement of the game coming to Steam was the news that they are holding two network tests for PC.
