2024 continues to make its case as being the year of the anime and anime-adjacent video game, this time with a release date announcement for the upcoming Gundam Breaker 4. The newest entry in the Gunpla building series will hit shelves on August 29, 2024, on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5 as well as PC.
Preorders are already open and bring prospective customers a load of virtual goodies. Check out the announcement trailer posted by the official Sony PlayStation YouTube channel:
For the uninitiated, Gundam Breaker 4 is the sequel to 2016's Gundam Breaker 3, which came out on PlayStation 4 and Vita. What's important to note, though, is that the entry did not make its way past the Asian market. Anyone who was interested in the game had to import it.
Instead, the West received New Gundam Breaker, which was universally panned. It currently sits at a 43 on Metacritic and is overall considered a disaster. It's a welcome surprise that all these years later, Bandai Namco is trying its hand at a new localized entry.

PostsGundam Breaker is different from other Gundam games in that it invokes many of the key tenets of the popular Gunpla model building hobby. Players are encouraged to create their own unique mobile suit utilizing various parts that they can collect from defeating other mobile suits. In other words, the loot you earn can then be used to your benefit as you take on missions or go online.
Additionally, just like the real life hobby, the customization goes beyond just adding various parts to make a suit. Painting, weathering and decals allow users to make their Gunpla unique to them. According to Bandai Namco's official website, users can also take their creation into the Diorama Mode, where you can create special unique scenes to pose your model in, complete with backgrounds and special effects.
2024 Is The Year of the Anime Game
When Gundam Breaker 4 launches this August, it'll be another entry into what has already been a banner year for anime fans. Already in 2024, fans have received DLC for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. Additionally, the first-ever Jujutsu Kaisen video game debuted along with Sand Land.
Just this Thursday, it was reported that Future Trunks will be the next Dragon Ball character to join Fortnite, and Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has received numerous character announcements in the leadup to its potential late 2024 release.
