Ghost in the Shell: SAC's Kenji Kamiyama Helms Gundam RG XARX-ZERO Anime in 2027
Kenji Kamiyama directs the series, which expands the franchise into a new universe and pairs the anime with the Gundam Rogue Orbit game.
- On Thursday, Bandai Namco Filmworks announced Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO at San Diego Comic-Con International, a new anime directed by Kenji Kamiyama. The series anchors the newly unveiled "RG Project," a next-generation initiative expanding the franchise into an original universe.
- Kamiyama confirmed the project is set in a timeline separate from the Universal Century or Common Era. The story follows humanity after conflict against the "Apocalypse," an aggressive ecosystem that forced survivors to abandon Earth.
- The initiative serves as a "media-mix project" connecting the anime's tale with Gundam Rogue Orbit, an upcoming single-player action RPG announced during Summer Game Fest. Both works share a continuous timeline while exploring the universe from different perspectives.
- Launching in 2027, the series centers on Ray Azumi, a war orphan and the "permanently assigned pilot of the Gundam Zero." Voice actor Takeo Otsuka said the role presented "a tremendous honor" and challenge across recording sessions.
- While the anime tells the beginning of this saga, Gundam Rogue Orbit picks up roughly 100 years later in a future shaped by accumulated events. The game releases on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam in 2027.
