Following Feedback from the Player Community, GUNDAM BATTLE OPERATION 2 Ventures Beyond Universal Century to Add Freedom Gundam to PC and Engage Gundam to PlayStation
IRVINE, Calif – Jan. 22, 2024 – Kira Yamato…Freedom Gundam…taking off! Following the results of a player community survey conducted last year, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM BATTLE OPERATION 2 is offering new in-game mobile suits, branching beyond Universal Century to add new fan-favorite mobile suits. In celebration of the upcoming launch of the new Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom anime feature film, the Steam® version of MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM BATTLE OPERATION 2 has added Freedom Gundam to the fleet of mobile suits available to the players. For PlayStation® users, the version has added Engage Zero Booster Type to its ranks. The new mobile suits will be available via supply drops, which can be earned in-game or purchased separately and are now available. The base game MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM BATTLE OPERATION 2 is available now to download and play for free on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and PC via Steam®.

“When we first approached the opportunity to introduce mobile suits from outside of the UC-era in MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM BATTLE OPERATION 2, we wanted to ensure it was rolled out to our loyal community in the right way,” said Hiraishi, producer, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM BATTLE OPERATION 2. “Following our player survey last year, it became evident that we could keep most players happy by introducing non-UC mobile suits to the Steam version of the game, but keeping the PlayStation version true to Universal Century options. The additions we’re introducing are all rooted in player feedback, and we look forward to seeing them engage with the new content and watch all the incredible battles unfold with the new weaponry.”
