"SD Gundam G Generation Eternal to Launch Network Test for US Players in New Year"

Fans of the iconic Gundam series can breathe a sigh of relief—SD Gundam G Generation Eternal is far from abandoned. Despite the radio silence since 2022, the game is gearing up for a major milestone: an upcoming network test that will be open to players in the United States, alongside participants from Japan and Hong Kong.

This test will offer 1,500 lucky applicants a first-hand experience of the game, running from January 23rd to January 28th, 2025. Applications are now live and will remain open until December 7th, giving fans a limited window to secure their spot.

In SD Gundam G Generation Eternal, players step into the cockpit as commanders guiding various pilots across the expansive Gundam universe. The gameplay revolves around strategic, grid-based combat where tactical decisions can turn the tide of battle. As with previous entries in the G Generation series, this installment promises a deep roster of characters and mobile suits spanning the entire Gundam timeline—an impressive collection that has become a hallmark of the franchise.

The term "SD" stands for Super Deformed, representing a stylized, chibi-like aesthetic commonly seen in model kits and media adaptations. These charming, compact designs have enjoyed immense popularity over the years, sometimes even overshadowing their more serious counterparts in mainstream Gundam releases.

A New Chance for Global Fans
While Gundam remains a globally recognized brand, Bandai Namco's track record with strategy titles has been mixed—some shine brightly while others fall short or get canceled prematurely. Let’s hope SD Gundam G Generation Eternal defies the odds and delivers a compelling, polished experience worthy of its legacy.
