The future of Gundam is about to take center stage once again as the Bandai Namco Group’s “Gundam Project” prepares to host the highly anticipated “Gundam Conference SPRING 2026” on May 15th at 6:00 PM JST, through the official Gundam YouTube Channel.
Ever since the original Mobile Suit Gundam first aired on April 7, 1979, the franchise has grown into one of the biggest multimedia properties in the world. With more than 90 titles across television, movies, OVAs, and streaming projects, Gundam continues to evolve while bringing generations of fans together through anime, GunPla, games, and collectibles.
The numbers behind the franchise are honestly wild. “GUNPLA” has now surpassed 800 million units shipped worldwide, proving just how massive the hobby has become for builders across the globe. Meanwhile, the SD Gundam G Generation Eternal mobile game has already exceeded 8 million downloads worldwide in just one year since its 2025 launch. On top of that, the Gundam Card Game has printed over 630 million cards in multiple languages, showing just how far the franchise continues to expand beyond anime.
Fans still remember the huge reveals from the previous Gundam Conference stream, which included the unveiling of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, the Gundam Pavilion at the Osaka-Kansai Expo, and several major franchise projects that immediately sparked discussion throughout the community.
Now Bandai Namco is teasing another round of major announcements that will “shape the future of the series,” and that alone is enough to get longtime fans paying attention. Whether it is new anime projects, GunPla reveals, games, anniversary plans, or completely unexpected collaborations, expectations are already sky high heading into the event.
With Gundam continuing to dominate globally across entertainment and merchandise, this conference feels like another major milestone for the franchise heading deeper into 2026.
