It's official. Rumors about a new Gundam series has been circulating various message boards online until finally, it is confirmed on the official Japanese Gundam website that a new Gundam project will be revealed on a live event this June 13th!
The live event will be streamed on the Bandai Channel website but it will be available on Japanese IP addresses. The live event will start at 1:30pm in Japan (Go figure the time in your area!).
An English Twitter account of Bluefin, Bandai's distributor in the United States, had retweeted a message last month that said, "A new Gundam series will be announced during the Tokyo Toy Show....about 3 weeks." However, the message has since been deleted. This year, the International Tokyo Toy Show will run from June 16 to 19.
Director Seiji Mizushima (Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Fullmetal Alchemist) emphasized that he has nothing to do with the new Gundam project, but added that there are many people involved from the Gundam 00 staff.
