Bandai Namco Entertainment has officially launched Gundam SEED Battle Destiny Remastered on May 22, 2025, for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.
This enhanced re-release of the original 2012 title brings upgraded visuals, improved controls, and new campaign features, all while preserving the strategic action gameplay fans loved over a decade ago.
What is Gundam SEED Battle Destiny Remastered?
Originally released for PlayStation Portable in 2012, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Battle Destiny was a tactical action game set during the Cosmic Era timeline, allowing players to experience the chaos of war alongside iconic characters from the Gundam SEED universe.
The Remastered edition retains the original mission-based format but comes with several modern upgrades, including high-resolution graphics, refined interface elements, and smoother controls.
Players can choose to align with one of three major factions – Earth Alliance, ZAFT, or the Archangel crew – and participate in battles that recreate key moments from the SEED storyline and beyond.
Over 100 Mobile Suits from Eight SEED Series Titles
The remastered version includes more than 100 mobile suits spanning across eight different Gundam SEED-related works, such as:
-
Gundam SEED
-
Gundam SEED Destiny
-
Gundam SEED C.E.73 – STARGAZER
-
Gundam SEED ASTRAY
-
SEED X ASTRAY
-
SEED VS ASTRAY
-
SEED MSV
-
SEED DESTINY MSV
Each unit features customizable loadouts, unique abilities, and unlockable traits. By completing missions, players can collect resources to tune their favorite mechs and build a personalized squad tailored to their combat style.
“Rewrite the OS” Typing Mini-Game Event Now Live
To celebrate the launch, Bandai Namco has introduced a limited-time browser-based typing mini-game titled “Aim for Kira Yamato! OS Rewrite Challenge.”
Players must accurately type Kira’s famous in-game lines within 150 seconds to succeed. Depending on performance, players will see different result screens and are encouraged to replay for better times.
Those who share their results on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) using the official hashtags will be entered into a giveaway for exclusive Gundam-themed merchandise, including:
-
1 original Battle Destiny keyboard (REALFORCE GX1)
-
10 large Battle Destiny desk mats (700mm x 300mm)
The event is playable on PC browsers and will run until June 1, 2025, at 23:59 JST.
Collaboration With SD Gundam G Generation Eternal
In addition to the typing challenge, a collaboration campaign is underway with SD Gundam G Generation Eternal, the mobile strategy game that compiles Gundam stories from across the franchise.
Players who follow both games’ official X accounts and repost the promotional content stand a chance to win boxed copies of the remastered game for Nintendo Switch.
This crossover celebrates the broader appeal of Gundam games and connects longtime fans with newer generations through a shared platform.
