If you&#8217;re a Gundam fan, fret not, because at least one part of the traditional Gundam experience is being kept intact <em>if<\/em> you buy the $160\u00a0Rogue Orbit collector&#8217;s edition.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context='{ \"core\": { \"image\": { \"initialized\": true } } }' class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1873996\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gundam-CE.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1873996\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gundam Rogue Orbit Collector&#8217;s Edition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like other special editions from Bandai Namco, Gundam Rogue Orbit combines a physical copy of the game with a few physical in-game goodies. It&#8217;s the inclusion of a High-Grade model kit based on the new Gundam Helix mobile suit\u00a0that could make this collector&#8217;s edition sought after, as it will be exclusive to the game. Gundam model kits aren&#8217;t usually hard to come by as Bandai Namco regularly keeps store shelves restocked with them, but the HG Helix model looks like a rare exception to that rule.<\/p>\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\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gundam Rogue Orbit - Gameplay And Customization Overview | State of Play Japan\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AiPllyLIvSo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are planning to grab one, it&#8217;s worth noting that HG Gundam model kits are 1\/144-scale figures and are designed to appeal to casual builders with their moderate detail, minimal foil stickers, and durable design. You won&#8217;t need too many tools to build one either, and the Helix design features a lot of panels and other mechanical details, so that could be a nice kit to build. The new trailer for the game also teased other shells that you can apply to the Helix to shake up its look, including an RX-78-2 skin and a red Zaku-inspired look that would make Char Aznable proud.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from the model, you&#8217;ll also get a poster, reversible cover art, a pack of five promo cards, a steel case for the game disc, and DLC that includes 14 different color patterns for the Helix in the game. You won&#8217;t have to wait too much longer to play it, as Gundam Rogue Orbit launches on March 5, 2027, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gundam Rogue Orbit is a break from tradition for Bandai Namco, as new entries in the franchise typically debut as an anime series first, then as a line of collectible model kits.
