Super Robot Wars V (Japanese: スーパーロボット大戦V Hepburn: Sūpā Robotto Taisen V) is an upcoming tactical role-playing game developed by B.B. Studio and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. Released as part of Super Robot Wars' 25th anniversary,[1] it is the eight standalone entry to the series since Super Robot Wars NEO, with the game's continued focus on the massive crossover between different mecha anime series released in Japan. It is scheduled to be released on Japan on February 23, 2017.

The game's catchphrase is "Into a New Voyage, Giants of Steel" (鋼の巨人達は、新たなる航海（Voyage）へ Hagane no Kyojin-tachi wa, aratanaru kōkai (boyāju) e).

Development

First announced at the 25th Anniversary Live Event alongside Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Moon Dwellers,[2] Super Robot Wars V continues the trend of the series for being a crossover tactical role-playing game featuring various mecha anime series from other studios.[1] It is also announced in the live event that it is the second game in the series to officially receive an English release in Asia and the first game in series to be given a C rating by CERO.[3] In addition to the enhanced animation and graphics seen in 3rd Super Robot Wars Z: Celestial Prison Chapter, the game also includes a cross-save feature like the previous entry.[4]

The game itself marks a lot of new entries to the series and also a lot of returns. The game marks the return of both Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ and Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam[3] into the series proper, the first introduction of the second Brave Series into the game in the form of The Brave Express Might Gaine,[5] and the game marks the debut of a non-mecha space opera anime series into the game in the form of Space Battleship Yamato 2199.[6]

In the game's first promotional trailer, the game debuts the "Mazin Emperor G" (Japanese: マジンエンペラーG Hepburn: Majin Enperā G), an upgrade to Tetsuya's Great Mazinger, making it the second original Mazinger Mecha to debut in the game since Mazinkaiser.[7] The game also introduces the original mecha "Vangrey" (Japanese: ヴァングレイ Hepburn: Vangurei), designed by Linebarrels of Iron Author and Mecha Designer Eiichi Shimizu, piloted by Souji Murakumo and Chitose Kisaragi. The game also reintroduces both the original versions of the Huckebein and the Grungust, piloted by Wörterb Text and Charlotte Hasting, making it the third game to reintroduce both units since Super Robot Wars Alpha and five years after the absence of both the Huckebein and the original Grungust in 2nd Super Robot Wars Original Generation.[8][9]

According to Takenobu Terada, the "V" in the title stands for "Voyage", which represents the Franchise's new growth such as its marketing and localization outside Japan.[4] Also, a Premium Sound edition of the game has been announced.[10]

Series included

  • Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Skull Hearta
  • Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam: Steel 7ac

^c Mecha only.

Music
