Greetings pilots! This is Ota, Development Director again.
We hope you’re enjoying our 8th Anniversary Celebration Campaign. 
- This is the second Dev. note of this month, so let take a quick look to some updates on [JST] 07/30.
- ■New MS “Unicorn Gundam PF”!
- From “Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn”, Unicorn Gundam PF is lining up with us!
- <Unit features>
- ・General unit with cost of 700.
- ・A Unicorn Gundam equipped with every type of Armed Armor developed, another appearance of the Unicorn Gundam, the Beast of Possibility.
-
・The Unicorn Gundam was originally equipped with a special system known as the NT-D (Newtype Destroyer), its movable frame was replaced with a psycho-frame, making it a full psycho-frame MS.
While the NT-D provides astonishing combat power, its extremely limited operation time is a critical flaw.
To overcome this weakness and improve sustained combat capability, five types of Armed Armor were developed.
These options utilize psycho-frame resonance to further enhance the suit’s performance. - ・This unit is armed with every type of Armed Armor available, including the prototype HJ (Hyper Beam Javelin), three options originally used by the Banshee (BS, VN, XC), and the DE unit equipped with a Stabilizer from the Phenex NT.
- By equipping all of these Armed Armor options simultaneously, the Perfectibility represents the Unicorn Gundam in its ultimate true form.
- ・Can be deployed both on the Ground and in Space.
- ※This video may not be representative of the actual product.

- ■8th Anniversary Key Visual Unveiled Featuring Unicorn Gundam PF!
-
With the addition of Unicorn Gundam PF to the roster, the 8th Anniversary key visual has also been updated!
Once again, the artwork has been illustrated by Hidetaka Tenjin, featuring this year’s GBO 8th Anniversary mobile suits…
V2 Assault Buster Gundam and Unicorn Gundam PF, in a dramatic face-off.
(The Wings of Light and the Psycho-Frame’s glow create a truly stunning, almost ethereal scene…) -

We hope you’ll look forward to seeing the new title screen once the update goes live! 
- ■To wrap thing up…
- That’s all for the update information.

Talking about Unicorn Gundam, the Life-Sized Unicorn Gundam Statue in Odaiba, Tokyo will step out from the spotlight on [JST] 08/31/2026.
https://www.unicorn-gundam-statue.jp/en/ -
You may be wondering why we suddenly brought up the topic of the full-scale statue.
The reason is, GBO2 was also inspired by the “Life-Size Gundam Statue” (which has since ended its exhibition) and the game originally started from the idea of “It would be amazing if players could look up at a Gundam in the game…”
Because of this, the statue is a topic that has particularly close connection to the GBO Dev Team.
Since this statue allows you to experience something similar in the real world, if you have a chance to visit Odaiba, please be sure to stop by before the exhibition ends! - And again, we hope you will keep enjoying our 8th Anniversary Celebrations!
