September 22, 2012 / 02:24 PM EDT / (@salromano)

Namco Bandai is developing a new Macross game for unannounced platforms.

Tentatively titled Macross 30, the game is a celebration of the franchise’s 30th anniversary. It will launch in 2013.

Further details are unknown, however, an animated trailer shown at the Tokyo Game Show displayed many of the anime’s heroine leads. The game’s theme song will be sung by Haruka Chisuga, winner of the Miss Macross 30th Anniversary singing contest.

Visit the game’s teaser site here.

Thanks, 4Gamer.net.

    We’ll never see it thanks to that Macross licensing fiasco. T_T

     I need another Macross series. Loved Frontier.

    I guess this was that last game they were suppose to announce….:(

    oh man after watching Macross Frontier Itsuwari no Utahime and Sayonara no Tsubasa movies last summer.

    i am freaking hype for more Macross goodness!!!!!

    actually the new Macross Movie will feature a crossover between characters from the very first anime up to frontier.

    guess this is the game version??

    probably hybrid pack for the movie?? :P

    Well, I can tell you right now that the game released with the Blu-Ray of Do You Remember Love was a tease, lol. I wanted a TRUE Macross game after playing it, so I hope this is it! Give us a full Macross game, guys! You have yet to make one for PS3 >_<

    So, yeah… I'm guessing now it's about time they finally release one for PS3. If it's not for PS3, then definitely Vita. I'll shit bricks if it goes to 3DS and/or Wii U exclusively :|

    And of course we’ll never get this because Harmony Gold are a bunch of greedy cocksuckers who refuse to let anyone do anything with the Macross license and I hope they burn in hell. >_<#

      Import.

      No more dealing with Harmony Gold. Problem solved.

      • LordKaiser

         It depends on the system it’s released.

           Vita and PS3 are region free. I seriously doubt they will put it on 3DS or Wii U. I guess stranger things HAVE happened though.

      Couldn’t the publishers produce their own English  localization, then include it in the game, but not really ‘advertise’ it as an extra? 

      Or would the potential legal ramifications—not to mention the cost—not make it even worthwhile to pursue?

      Harmony Gold doesn’t own Macross. But they do own Robotech, which was the original Macross (SDF1) series. Anything named Macross in the anime series belongs to and is licensed to Tatsunoko Production, which is why Robotech, Shadow Chronicles was so awful, while competing again Macross Frontier and Zero. If Tatsunoko Production took the production, I’m sure the SDF3 that disappeared in the movie / apparent series (even though they only made one) would had made more of an impression, as well as another part to the shadow chronicles. This is just basic information for you. I agree with you, Harmony gold is S**t

    I’m a Macross fan since I was kid but I’m also a PC gamer. The very platform that have never seen Macross installed on it. What a situation to be in. I’ve played a couple of Macross games – one on my sister’s PS2 and another one with Macross Frontier on a friend’s  PSP. Even so I really wished Macross would grace the PC one of these days. Crossing my fingers to see the PC listed for the Macross 30 (yeah, I know it’s a very flimsy dream).

    If the PC doesn’t get Macross 30…well, I still have Strike Suit Zero to look forward to. Really, it’s the closest thing of a Macross game on the PC! I just hope Gold Harmony doesn’t go Apple on these guys for the eery similarities in one of the mecha designs that I’ve seen in the trailer. I know they sued Piranha Games for a similar looking heavy mech in the Mech Warrior 5 trailer.

       You should play Macross VO, it a little old but its one of the best macross game I´ve played and it is for PC, if you can understand japanese there some old macross stategy games that are good also (remember me, skull leader and love stories)

      they did have a PC version, but it got rejected from the market

    Hope it will be a “full game”, instead of the half baked games released with the BRs …
