A new VR interactive anime film based on the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise has been announced.
Revealed at Anime NYC over the weekend, Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom is a new film developed by Bandai Namco Filmworks and Atlas V and published by Astrea.

Pierre Zandrowicz, Co-Founder of Atlas V said this about the project:
“This is not a game, nor is it just a narrative experience—it’s an immersive adventure that leverages the best of both worlds. The future of interactive anime in VR is coming.”
Kiichiro Inoue, Deputy General Manager at Bandai Namco Filmworks also said:
“We're taking a unique approach - creating an interactive anime that brings the Gundam universe to life in an unparalleled way. It's a narrative journey, inviting you to step inside the story like never before."
