The Freedom Gundam is receiving a bit of a revival thanks to the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed movie, as it will appear in both Extreme Versus 2 and Battle Operation 2. The Rising Freedom Gundam, which will appear in the movie, is the version that will show up in Extreme Versus 2. [Thanks, Dengeki Online!]
To start with, let’s discuss the introduction of Rising Freedom Gundam Extreme Versus 2. There are no details about its release date and gameplay as of yet, but there will be more information about it in the future. Like the base Freedom and Strike Freedom Gundams, Rising Freedom has back-mounted wings that it can likely use to move faster. Based on the picture for Extreme Versus 2, it looks like Rising Freedom has the Voiture Lumiere system, like the Destiny Gundam, or something similar to that There appears to be a light effect in between the Rising Freedom’s wings, which was how the Destiny looked when it activated Voiture Lumiere.
As for Battle Operation 2, Bandai Namco will introduce the Freedom Gundam as it appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam Seed. It’ll have a cost of 700 and will be capable of both close-distance and long-distance combat. Some of its armaments include the Xiphias Railgun, Lacerta Beam Saber, and Balaena Plasma Beam Cannon. These are all weapons that Freedom had in the show proper. Freedom Gundam will appear on the Steam version of Battle Operation 2.
Mobile Suit Gundam Freedom will air in Japanese theaters from January 26, 2024.
