Bandai Namco Entertainment has exciting news for fans of the popular mecha anime, “Gundam!” The company recently announced the beta launch of the “Gundam Metaverse,” an online hub that connects fans of the series. The beta release is set for October and will include the Gunpla Colony, a small portion of the overall project that will include anime and games.
Fans can access the “Gundam Metaverse” through the PC-based Metaverse app, which offers full features like avatar control, or the Gundam Navi mobile app, which is more focused on communication features. The Builder’s Note is a social platform where people can share photos of their builds and communicate with each other.
One of the most exciting features of the “Gundam Metaverse” is the ability to order Gunpla kits online and have them delivered to your home. While details on how this service will work for overseas fans have yet to be released, Chief Gundam Officer Koji Fujiwara promises that the company will work to distribute their kits in the most ideal way possible to all their fans around the world.
The “Gundam Metaverse” aims to be a social hub where fans can connect with each other and enjoy features like live translation and a virtual assistant to entertain guests. Additionally, the “Gundam Metaverse” will feature the Gunpla Scanner app, which supports custom builds. This app allows builders to show off 3D models based on their custom work. The Gunpla scanner is a significant building block of the “Gundam Metaverse” Project, and builders will be able to display their custom Gunpla in the metaverse.
Bandai Namco Entertainment plans to open tests for the Gunpla colony, though it is unsure if it will launch with the scanning feature considering the short timeframe. Last year’s Gundam Conference also saw the announcement of additional colonies, such as a gaming colony based on “Gundam Evolution.”
The “Gundam Metaverse” is an exciting new development for fans of the “Gundam” series. It provides a social hub for fans to connect with each other and enjoy features like live translation and virtual assistants. The ability to order Gunpla kits online and have them delivered to your home is a particularly exciting feature, and the Gunpla Scanner app is sure to be a hit with builders. Fans can’t wait to see what the future holds for the “Gundam Metaverse!”
