The anime that is beloved world-wide is getting its very own trading card game! Gundam is a hit show that features giant mecha suits, called mobile suits or Gundam, and is set in a fictional future called "Universal Century". This sci-fi series has been featured in other TCGs for a while now, most notably Cardfight!! Vanguard, but the time has come for Gundam to stand on its own two feet.
Arriving on the 25th of July 2025, the Gundam TCG kicks off with its inaugural set named "Newtype Rising" and focuses on a selection of Gundam suits from "Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn" to "Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury". The MSRP is around £4.99 for booster packs, and each pack contains 12+1 cards. Little is known about the rarity or what kind of cards to expect, but we're sure to know more closer to the release date.
Not only that, but on the 11th of July 2025, you can grab yourself some Gundam Assemble Starter Kits! Choose between 4 different kits that gear you up with everything you need to get started in this brand new TCG, and even include a GUNPLA miniature that you can use as a token during your games. These will retail for around £34.99, and the GUNPLA needs assembling by players prior to use. This gives the TCG a unique twist compared to the many other TCGs that exist in this hobby, and is almost akin to that of Bakugan (if anyone remembers that!) and can also be used in conjunction with the new Gundam Assemble tabletop game! The sets that will be available are:
- Heroic Beginnings: featuring Mobile Suit Gundam & Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury
- SEED Strike: featuring Mobile Suit Gundam SEED
- Zeon's Rush: featuring Mobile Suit Gundam & Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn
- Wings of Advance: featuring Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
You'll get 3 GUNPLA to assemble in each Starter Deck Set. But if you don't want to be spending £34.99 on this TCG newcomer's starter kits, you can get just the deck itself for £11.99 - these will not include the GUNPLA figures.
Furthermore, there will be accessories available to purchase alongside the release of the decks! Though we do not have any designs as of yet, you will find card sleeves, deck boxes and damage counters available at launch. So get ready to kit your deck out with all-things Gundam!
So far, that's all we know about this TCG. We're keeping an ear to the ground for more news, and as soon as the likes of mechanics and card reveals are dropped we'll be updating this blog appropriately!
