A Gundam Card Game will launch at Johnson Space Center in Houston, home of NASA’s Mission Control Center and the backdrop for the world premiere of Bandai Card Games’ new trading card game (TCG) based on the anime series “Mobile Suit Gundam.” Bandai Card Games staff and executives will host an invited audience comprised of press, influencers and retailers for an immersive Gundam experience showcasing the new card game. Guests at the world premiere event will be among the first to play the new Gundam Card Game – before the North American launch of its Edition Beta product in January 2025, and well ahead of its full global release later that year.

“We’re excited to launch the Gundam Card Game with a world premiere event at such an iconic and historic location as NASA’s Johnson Space Center,” says Kyle Serra, producer, English version of the Gundam Card Game, Bandai Card Business Department. “Gundam is truly a global phenomenon and Bandai Card Games is excited to pay homage with this new trading card game spanning the history of the franchise. Fans will soon be able to engage and enjoy the world of Gundam in a whole new way!”
Revealed to the public last month during the Bandai Card Games Next Plan Presentation livestream event, the Gundam Card Game will release globally in 2025 and simultaneously available in Japanese, English and Simplified Chinese. This December, Bandai Card Games will release an early version, the Gundam Card Game Edition Beta as an introduction to the game that fans can purchase either at the Bandai Card Games Fest 24-25 or an Edition Beta TCG+ Store Trial Event.
