Sunrise has released the first promotional video for Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX, offering a glimpse into the new Universal Century story. The trailer appears to directly follow the events of the original Mobile Suit Gundam, focusing on the aftermath of Char Aznable's disappearance with the stolen prototype Gundam six years after the One Year War's conclusion.
The PV hints at a new female protagonist taking center stage, while also suggesting Char Aznable, the iconic Zeon ace, may not be gone forever. The visuals showcase Sunrise's continued evolution of the real robot aesthetic within the Gundam franchise, blending familiar UC elements with potentially new CG enhancements.
Set in UC 0079, the series will explore the consequences of Char's fateful encounter with the prototype Gundam and his subsequent vanishing act. The narrative promises to delve into the fallout of this event, potentially re-contextualizing Char's legend and introducing a fresh perspective on the Universal Century timeline.
