Bandai Namco has announced today that Gundam Evolution, its free-to-play, 6V6 FPS set in the Gundam universe, will get a global launch and a new closed beta that will be open to players in both North America and Japan. The game is also now confirmed for PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as the PC version that was announced last year.

Based on a free-to-play model, Gundam Evolution will revolve around 6V6 objective-based combat, which sees players piloting well-known Mobile Suit Units from the Gundam universe. The game includes 12 base Mobile Suits that are available for free, with more Units planned to be added beyond the initial 12. Unlike other games that rely on defined classes, each Unit in Gundam Evolution will have its own unique set of skills that players can utilize for strategic play.

A new closed beta has been announced for both consoles and PC, with the upcoming playtest open to players from Japan and North America. The test will add some new content on top of what was playable in the earlier Japanese beta, including two new Mobile Suit Units on top of the original 12--Gundam Exia and Marasai (Unicorn Vers.).
