14 DAY TRIAL // Namco Bandai today released some new screenshots and revealed the official title for Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire, slated for release later this year for PlayStation 3.
Thrown into the futuristic Earth devastated by the invasion of the Zeon forces, players will find themselves caught in the crossfire between the Earth Federation and Zeon forces nine months into the conflict. At the brink of annihilation, the Earth Federation Forces are mobilizing to launch a massive counter assault against the occupying forces. As the call for arms have been made, players are given a choice to either join the Federation Army to repel the invaders or pledge their alliance to Zeon and claim Earth! By piloting the ultimate mechanized weapons of the future taken straight from the Gundam Universe (Mobile Suits) players can suit up and command fellow battalion Mobile Suits in the fight to change the tides of the war.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire incites earlier franchise memories of bitter rivalries between the Federation and Zeon forces. The conflict places pilots into the cockpits of numerous legendary Mobile Suits, launching them right into the heat of battle. Teamwork and brilliant leadership are crucial in ascertaining enemy weaknesses and locating strategic enemy facilities on the battlefield. New commanders have access to a variety of Mobile Suits available for enlistment into their battalion and more suits will open up as players progress further in the game and complete objectives in the war effort.
