- Greeting to all pilots! I am Development Director Ōta.
Three months have already passed in the year 2022, and the temperature has gradually become pleasantly warm and sunny.
Sakura trees have also begun to bloom, and it makes me feel that real-deal Spring has come at last these days, how are things on your side? - By the way, by the Developer Newsletter of last year’s March
- ＞There were around 230 units! And, more than 80 units have already entered the competition by then!
- As I mentioned, as of the end of March 2022, the number of playable units have exceeded 300 units!
Added around 70 machines in one year…that’s quite an impact when you look at it again.
However when choices increase so much, apart from the Veteran pilots, new pilots have difficulties like “Which MS is best to operate?”
This time, I would like to make modifications to include such follow-up. - Well then, I”ll be introducing this month’s several updates
- ■New ＭＳ “Zaku IV (IP)”、 will join the fray soon!
- “Mobile Suit Moon Gundam”‘s “Zaku IV (IP)” will appear as a new Raid Type Unit MS with Cost of 700!
It is a specialized unit with a large, conspicuous Heat Hawk and also equipped with a funnel-mounted unit.
Also, Unit’s (IP) name is abbreviation for “Illia Pazom” that appears in “Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ”. - ＜Unit Introduction＞
