The latest anime installment in the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED universe, titled Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Recollection, has revealed new footage, scene stills, and story details. The new anime showcases the return of Kira and Athrun as they pilot brand-new mobile suits, including the DRAGOON Strike.

This newly produced anime will be integrated into the smartphone game SD Gundam G Generation Eternal, with content set to launch in-game starting from the 30th.

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Recollection serves as a narrative bridge between Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY. The anime is structured in two parts within the main stage of the game: the first half focuses on “Kira’s Battle,” while the latter half shifts to “Athrun’s Battle.” As the world plunges once again into turmoil, the renewed conflict between these two iconic pilots reignites the series' core themes of friendship, ideology, and war.
