This high-speed action game is part of the new alternate Gundam universe titled \u201cRG Project,\u201d alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/interviews\/the-elements-a-gundam-needs-in-order-to-be-a-gundam-interview-with-mobile-suit-gundam-rg-xarx-zero-director-kenji-kamiyama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">upcoming XARX-Zero anime<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a recent joint media interview published by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/article\/202609\/86418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a>, director Yoshiyuki Serizawa and producer Yuya Tomiyama talked about what players can expect from Gundam Rogue Orbit, including its volume. According to Tomiyama, a straightforward playthrough of the main story should offer about 20 hours of playtime, though the developers expect this to vary on the individual level depending on playstyle and how much players engage with customization and other features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, as endgame content, Gundam Rogue Orbit will come with a multiplayer mode where three players can team up to fight powerful enemies. While he wasn\u2019t able to spill the details, the director says this mode will allow players to show off their customized mobile suits to one another. On the other hand, the game will not come with a dedicated photo mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding the number of mobile suits and Apocalypse (enemy) types appearing in the game, Tomiyama said the exact numbers are still under wraps, but that the variety showcased so far \u201cis only a fraction of the total.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gundam Rogue Orbit -
