Gundam Musou (ガンダム無双?) is a PlayStation 3 video game based on the extremely popular Gundam anime series. It is being developed by Koei and published by Namco Bandai. Its gameplay is derived from Koei's popular Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series. [1] The "Official Mode" of the game is based on primarily on the Universal Century timeline, with mecha from Mobile Suit Gundam, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, and Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ appearing in released images of the game.[2] The "Original Mode" of the game also feature mecha from the non-UC series Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, and ∀ Gundam. A newly designed non-SD Musha Gundam designed by Hajime Katoki is also included.[3]

This is the second Gundam game to come out for the Playstation 3, following soon after Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire. It was released in March 1, 2007 in Japan[4] and no official U.S. launch date was announced as of yet.
