Gundam Seed Battle Destiny is on track to be the PlayStation Vita’s first Mobile Suit Gundam game, but fans will have to wait for it a little longer than originally expected. Game-aga magazine had reported a Japanese release date of March 29th, but has now confirmed that this was a misprint. Developer Artdink and publisher Namco Bandai have officially said nothing other than a vague “Spring 2012” launch time.
This game will continue to build upon the series that Artdink has been establishing on the PSP, and feature mobile suits from a long list of Gundam Seed sagas. Announced inclusions are: Gundam Seed, Seed Destiny, Seed C.E.73 Stargazer, Seed Astray, Seed X Astray, Seed VS Astray and Seed MSV.
The PSP has had a lot of success with its Gundam Battle games, so this is no doubt a highly anticipated release for a lot of Japanese gamers. Sony would probably also like to see it get out there and move a few more PSVs. There is not yet any news of an international release, but we’ll keep you up to speed.
