Guess who’s back, back again. ‘Kaisers back, tell a friend
During its previously announced stream this morning, Bandai Namco announced the newest entry into theSuper Robot Warsfranchise. TitledSuper Robot Wars X, the mecha crossover will be releasing on June 10, 2025 in Japan, while a version with English subtitles will be released in Southeast Asia on April 26 the same year. The game will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and Vita with physical and digital versions.
You can check out the trailer in all its glory below.
Super Robot Wars Xwill feature the following series:
Needless to say, it’s a fairly large roster with a grand total of 23 works participating. Of the returning series, a large number of them are returning from theZ3games andV, such asGurren Lagann, almost everyGundamseries besidesF91andBeltorchika’s Children, andCross Ange. They appear to be using a mix of new and old assets however, so the reusage isn’t too bad.
Those that purchase early-run copies of the game in Japan will receive additional bonuses.
For those wondering, Cybuster and Masaki are an original mecha and character respectively, that debuted inSuper Robot Taisen 2way back on the Famicom. You may recognize it from the twoOriginal Generationgames that Atlus localized on the Game Boy Advance. Much like Huckebein and Grungust inV, you will still have access to Cybuster without the bonus, just at a later stage in the game with minimal to no impact on the plot.
Finally, Japan will be getting a “Premium Anime Song & Sound Edition” which will include 35 additional songs. Now the following are not remixes or covers, they are the original deal.
Don’t feel too left out about it, as ifXis anything like previous games, you can connect a USB device and use custom BGM.
Needless to say, I’m very excited for this entry. A lot of entries I liked inZ3andVreturn, and the back-to-back reveals of the return of Hi-Nu Gundam and Mazinkaiser had me grinning like an idiot. Definitely up there for games I’m looking forward to in 2018, if not my most anticipated one now.
