IRVINE, Calif., March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GUNDAM ASSEMBLE is a competitive miniature tabletop game that uses mobile suits and other units from the Mobile Suit Gundam series as playing pieces. Players assemble and paint approximately 5 cm-sized miniatures—capturing the enjoyment of plastic model kits—and engage in strategic, squad-based combat that leverages terrain on the game board. The game is distinguished by narrative tie-ins to Mobile Suit Gundam series and a strong commitment to miniature sculpt quality. To enter the global market, we will launch five items simultaneously in October 2026, followed by monthly releases; within one year, we plan to roll out more than 30 items across regions worldwide.
