Fight amongst Interstellar and Planetary Battles in Legendary Gundam Mobile Suits in this Non-Stop Action Game from NAMCO BANDAI Games and KOEI Corporation

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (April 1, 2009) – NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. and KOEI Corporation announced today that DYNASTY WARRIORS^®:GUNDAM^® 2 has gone gold for the PlayStation^®2 computer entertainment system, PLAYSTATION^®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360^® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.  Drawing inspiration from the high-octane action of the Dynasty Warriors franchise and the blunt force power of the rich Gundam universe, DYNASTY WARRIORS:GUNDAM 2 is set for all-out action when it is released on March 24, 2009 with new downloadable missions available later this spring.

In the future, rebel space colonies launch a brutal war of independence with a series of coordinated orbital strikes against Earth. The chaotic assault signals the dawn of a new age of combat and the ultimate instrument of warfare is born, the Mobile Suit.

DYNASTY WARRIORS:GUNDAM 2 thrusts players into incredible battles against legions of enemy Mobile Suits on distant planetary surfaces and in the far reaches of outer space. For the first time, DYNASTY WARRIORS:GUNDAM 2 let players engage in melee battles against colossal enemies such as the Psyco Gundam. The massive Psyco Gundam can quickly reconfigure their bodies into titanic mobile fortresses which can move with remarkable speed. However, highly-trained pilots can utilize their own Mobile Suit’s speed, agility, and of course firepower to defeat these deadly juggernauts.  

DYNASTY WARRIORS:GUNDAM 2 also include new stories and feature Mobile Suits from the entire Gundam anime history including Char’s Counter Attack, Gundam Wing and more. With Mobile Suit parts collected throughout the course of the game, players will be able to construct new Mobile Suits to take into battle.  Additionally, players can take their favorite Mobile Suits and engage others in action-packed online versus modes on Xbox LIVE^® for Xbox 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3 system’s PlayStation^®Network.
