Producer Interview
- This is the first title as part of the Super Robot Wars 25th anniversary. There are other projects underway other than this game.
- Super Robot Wars J protagonist Calvina Coulange will also appear as an ally unit.
- Granteed’s setup will change in a big way, and he’ll be Touya’s personal mech.
- The protagonists of Super Robot Wars GC were set up as twins. The Real Robot that wasn’t Soul Saber (maybe Soul Gunner?) won’t appear in this game.
- Immediately after the game starts, it branches into two paths, one with Touya and another with Calvina. The Touya route is easier to play for new players.
- The branch has no connection to the SR point.
- Thanks to the hard work of the development staff, the special moves of the new mecha are a spectacular sight to see.
- Development is 70 percent complete.
Thanks, Hachika Kikou.
