Bandai Namco has officially announced the arrival of Gundam Breaker 4, slated for release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam) in 2024. This exciting news was revealed during the February 2024 Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, much to the delight of fans worldwide.
Players will step into the role of aspiring mecha creators, wielding the power to assemble their unique combat machines using a staggering collection of over 250 parts sourced from across the iconic Gundam franchise. This vast selection ensures that players can personalize their creations to their exact specifications, crafting their ideal vision of a formidable Gundam.
Once assembled, these custom-built mechas will be unleashed onto virtual battlefields, where players can test their creations against formidable enemies. Up to three players can join forces in cooperative multiplayer mode, forging alliances and unleashing devastating combos to conquer the opposition. The thrill of combat is further amplified by the new “hack, slash, and shoot” gameplay mechanic, encouraging players to strategically dismantle enemy mechas and collect valuable parts for further upgrades.
But Gundam Breaker 4 goes beyond the heat of battle. It also offers a dedicated mecha garage, a haven for customization and personalization. Here, players can meticulously fine-tune their Gundam creations, equipping them with new parts, applying vibrant paint schemes, and adorning them with unique stickers and weathering effects. This meticulous level of detail allows players to truly express their individuality and create a Gundam that reflects their personal style.
Following the thrill of customization, players are free to embark on various offline and online missions, putting their creations to the ultimate test. Whether facing down formidable bosses or battling hordes of enemy mechas, each victory unlocks new components and skills, further empowering players on their journey to build the ultimate Gundam.
Gundam Breaker 4 also introduces a captivating new feature: diorama mode. This innovative mode allows players to create elaborate scenarios, complete with diverse backgrounds, environmental elements, and captivating special effects. Within these meticulously crafted scenes, players can then pose their custom-built Gundams, capturing their creations in dynamic and awe-inspiring compositions.
