When it comes to the mecha genre, Japan stands unrivaled as the pioneer, boasting two key iterations: real robot and super robot. Now, My.Games' War Robots is set to collaborate with the esteemed designer Kunio Okawara for an exclusive in-game design that promises to excite fans of the genre!
Okawara, renowned for his iconic work on the original Gundam in collaboration with writer Yoshiyuki Tomino, has left an indelible mark on the real robot genre. His designs have graced numerous series and even made appearances in blockbuster Hollywood films like Ready Player One. Now, players can pilot an original creation from Okawara himself—the SWORD Unit 190, developed in-universe by the DSC Corporation. This unit comes complete with optional drones and plasma guns designed by Okawara, adding to the excitement.
You'll need to wait a bit before getting your hands on the new SWORD unit. However, it's set to take center stage in the upcoming MECHA Raider S.W.O.R.D event, running from May 20th to June 1st. This event offers a full throwback to the real robot genre, making it a must-experience for fans and newcomers alike.
