For more than 30 years, the Super Robot Wars series has brought together mecha and machines from across the world of anime and manga. This year, we get a new installment: Super Robot Wars Y, welcoming a slew of both new and returning units.
The game’s first teaser trailer is vague on actual storyline details, focusing instead on both collab and OG units coming to the game:
Super Robot Wars Y Announcement Trailer
The first series and films to be announced for the game are:
Combattler V
Aura Battler Dunbine
Macross Delta the Movie: Passionate Walküre (first appearance on console)
Getter Robo Arc (first appearance on console)
Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury Season 1 (first appearance in Super Robot Wars)
More series and units will be announced in the near future. Given trends in past games, we’re likely to see more units from Go Nagai’s Mazinger series, as well as even more Gundam from all across the franchise’s history. Beyond that, anything is possible!
The video also shows us the OG robots and pilots available to us as the player. Regular series mecha designer M ganzy designs Lunderache and Lunderache II, which we will be piloting. Super Robot Wars V character designer Wataru Watanabe returns as designer for new OG characters: Forte and Cross Tsukinowa (likely our two potential Lunderache pilots), plus a new character named Echika Y. Franburnett. Voice actors for our new OG cast will also be announced in the near future.
Super Robot Wars Y will be available globally on PlayStation 5, Steam and Nintendo Switch later this year. Steam users can wishlist the game now.
