In an exciting development for fans of the franchise, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed: Battle Destiny Remastered has been officially announced for release on May 22, 2025. This new iteration of the beloved PS Vita exclusive aims to revitalize the gaming experience on modern platforms, including PC and Nintendo Switch. Originally launched in Japan on June 7, 2012, the game has remained confined to its original console, which ceased production in 2019.
Despite being the successor to the successful PlayStation Portable, the PS Vita struggled commercially. Spanning a lifespan of around six years, it reported an estimated 15 million units sold, a stark contrast to the PSP’s impressive 82 million. However, within its limited game library, the PS Vita offered standout titles, including Mobile Suit Gundam Seed: Battle Destiny. This remaster promises to elevate the experience by making it available to a larger audience.
Bandai Namco’s announcement of the remaster brings hope to fans who have long awaited a revival of this title. The remake not only enhances graphics but also introduces new gameplay elements such as additional lock-on modes and customization tools for better controller usability. Players will have the unique opportunity to pilot and customize their Gundams while participating in a variety of missions that unlock over 100 different mobile suits. Notably, this remaster will feature English localization, allowing a broader international audience to experience the game for the very first time.
