Bandai Namco Filmworks has officially announced the RG Project, a brand-new Gundam initiative that will expand into anime, video games, and other media, all set in a completely new shared universe.
The first project is the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO, directed by Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Star Wars: Visions) and animated by SOLA ANIMATION. The series is scheduled to premiere in 2027.
The anime will tell the beginning of this new universe, taking place around 100 years before the upcoming action game GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT. Both titles will share the same world while telling different parts of its story.
Bandai Namco describes the RG Project as a next-generation Gundam universe that connects multiple stories across different media.
A teaser trailer has also been released on the official GUNDAM CHANNEL INTL YouTube channel.

For three months, humanity fought the Apocalypse to a standstill in orbit above Earth. Forced to abandon the planet, humanity marked that year as A.A. 1—the first year After Apocalypse.
By A.A. 45, children born on the Moon and in space colonies have never known life without the Apocalypse.
And on the lunar surface, a boy named Ray Azumi awakens—
