Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Announced
Hack and slash fans with a penchant for sci-fi should mark their calendars now as Namco Bandai and KOEI will ship their joint project, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, in North America near the end of the summer. Previously released as "Gundam Musou" in Japan a few months back, DW Gundam is from the same development crew that built earlier titles in the series (Omega Force) and will appear on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. "Dynasty Warriors: Gundam is the result of a monumental collaboration between two great companies," said Namco Bandai, EVP and Makoto Iwai. "This partnership extends far beyond the title’s development and encompasses all disciplines including marketing, sales and promotions in order to bring this unique title to North America. Featuring interstellar environments and unmatched warrior battles, gamers will understand why Dynasty Warriors: Gundam is the must have game for the fall." Unlike past Warriors installments that focused on ancient China or Japan, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam centers on the war-torn (Universal Century) universe of Mobile Suit Gundam as players take control of both the Earth Federation and Zeon forces. Unlockable mobile suits from different timelines, secret missions, and multiple game modes including "Official, Original" and "Versus" types are among the touted features. Whether or not the North American version will contain region-specific exclusives or extras is still unknown.Source: http://www.ign.com
