Gundam Card Game will be formally available with four starter decks in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese simultaneously worldwide in July 2025. Bandai made the announcement at the Bandai Card Games Fest 24-25 in Orlando, Florida.

After making the initial announcement in October 2024 and a beta release in December 2024, Bandai will release the formal starter decks on July 12, 2025, at 1,320 yen (~$8.40) each. Each deck will come with 50 cards and sheets for the playing mat and damage counters.

Here are the details on the first four starter decks for Gundam Card Game:

1. ST01 - Heroic Beginnings: A well-balanced Blue and White deck that will pair the first Mobile Suit Gundam with The Witch From Mercury.
2. ST02 - Wings of Advance: A Green and Blue deck featuring the Gundam Wing sub-series with a Resource-based gameplay emphasis.
3. ST03 - Zeon's Rush: A Red and Green deck featuring Zeon characters and Mobile Suits throughout the Universal Century that will rely on mass deployments of light-cost units.
4. ST04 - SEED Strike: A White and Red deck focusing on the Gundam SEED sub-series with Link Units that feature Kira Yamato and Athrun Zala.

In addition, Bandai will release several accessories related to the new TCG on the same day as the starter decks' releases. The company will sell a set of 70 card sleeves at 880 yen (~$5.60), a deck case with two promo cards at 1,320 yen (~$8.40), and a set of six damage counter dice at 1,650 yen (~$10.50).

The company wrapped up the announcements by teasing the first booster pack's release on July 26, 2025. A single pack will cost 220 yen (~$1.40) and contain seven extra cards. The first booster pack, titled GD01 - Newtype Rising, will feature units and characters from Universal Century titles like Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam Unicorn.

The first starter decks and accessories for Gundam Card Game will be available on Saturday, July 12, 2025. The TCG's first booster pack "Newtype Rising" will follow suit two weeks later on July 26, 2025.

At the end of September 2024, Bandai Namco announced it was working on a Mobile Suit Gundam Trading Card Game. Now there’s a new trailer showing some of the cards and playing field. In that video, the company also confirmed it will debut in 2025. However, a Gundam Card Game Edition Beta will launch on December 7, 2024.

This video builds upon the original teaser announcement. That first one hinted at the logo and atmosphere. One of the initial cards shown this time is the Gundam RX-78-2. It appeared alongside what looked to be a card with the GAT-X105 Strike Gundam on it. Both Unit and Pilot cards will appear in the game, with a Pilot card that looked like it featured Amuro Ray art on it appearing at the 40 second mark behind the RX-78-2. A Banagher Links Pilot card is highlighted 43 seconds into the video, followed by what seemed to be a Wing Gundam and a take on XVX-016 Gundam Aerial. 

Here’s the full teaser for the card game. It features English text, and the announcement confirmed that the game will be available in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese when it launches.

The official site featured a few other cards. If you check the Gundam Card Game Edition Beta page, it shows the Gundam RX-78-2, XXXG-01W Wing Gundam, and GAT-X105 Strike Gundam Unit cards and Amuro Ray and Heero Yuy Pilot cards. A The Witch and the Bride Command card appeared and featured Suletta and Miorine on it.

The Gundam trading card game will launch worldwide in 2025, but the Gundam Card Game Edition Beta will appear before that on December 7, 2024.
