The highly-anticipated new Gundam anime series Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is slated to premiere soon to the excitement of many fans of the franchise.

The series is expected to have an expanded release strategy as it will also be available for theatrical exhibition aside from the usual TV broadcast. Let's explore the show's release plan below.

When is Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Coming to Theaters?

Before Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX has its TV premiere broadcast, the first few episodes of the series will be released in Japanese cinemas on January 17, 2025.

It is a unique way for fans to experience the highly-anticipated new Gundam installment on the big screen.

There is no release date yet for the Japanese TV broadcast which will also take place sometime next year, but it is expected to air on Nippon Television and other NNS stations in Japan.

It is unknown yet whether it will be available on streaming in international markets, but it will likely happen as the Gundam franchise has a massive global fanbase.

For now, fans should look out for news and updates regarding the non-theatrical release of the series. At the very least, they have an opportunity to watch it earlier than expected.

What is Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX About?

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX centers on Amate Yuzuriha, a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space.

When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle.

Under the entry name "Machu," she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot named Shuji.

The series is directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki and written by Yoji Enokido and Hideaki Anno. It features character designs by Take and mechanical designs by Ikuto Yamashita.

It is the sixteenth installment in the long-running Gundam franchise which started in the late '70s. It is still a popular anime property up to this day as it spawned a multimedia dynasty.
