Gundam Assemble Launches in 2026, Early Miniatures Bundled with Gundam TCG Sets

The world of Mobile Suit Gundam is expanding beyond anime and model kits with the introduction of Gundam Assemble, an upcoming tabletop game featuring intricately designed miniatures. This unexpected yet exciting addition to the Gundam franchise made its debut during the promotional trailer for the Gundam Trading Card Game (TCG), which is set to launch on July 11, 2025.

As a teaser for the full game, select Gundam TCG sets—including starter decks representing different Gundam universes—will come bundled with exclusive Gundam Assemble miniatures. These collectibles, which players can paint and use to visually represent the mobile suits in their decks, add an extra layer of immersion to the Gundam TCG experience. While these miniatures serve a decorative purpose for now, they are a clear signal of the grander game arriving in 2026.

A New Take on Gundam Battles

From what has been revealed, Gundam Assemble shares some design elements with classic tabletop skirmish games like BattleTech, featuring a hexagonal battle platform that sets the stage for strategic combat. Some fans have also drawn visual parallels to the battlefield seen in Gundam Build Fighters, though this is simply a reference rather than an indication of any direct connection. It’s just a case of fans recognizing familiar design cues and making comparisons.

What We Know So Far

Gundam Assemble will feature 2-inch-scale GunPla-style miniatures, each representing iconic mobile suits from across the franchise. These units will come with distinct abilities that mirror their in-universe strengths and characteristics, allowing players to either recreate famous battles from the Gundam timeline or forge entirely new conflicts that transcend the boundaries of the original series. This combination of lore-driven scenarios and player-driven combat aims to provide both nostalgia and fresh tactical depth.

While full gameplay details and product specifications remain under wraps, fans can expect more information to be revealed in the coming months. Whether you're a longtime Gundam collector or a newcomer intrigued by strategic miniature warfare, Gundam Assemble promises to be a must-watch release in 2026.
