The Premium G Sound Edition of the game for PS4 and Switch will include 35 additional tracks of famous music from the franchise. The digital version of the game will include a character ability set.

Bandai Namco Entertainment Southeast Asia will also release the game in English this year on PS4, Switch, and PC via Steam in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
The new game will feature mobile suits from four different Gundam universes: After Colony (Mobile Suit Gundam Wing), Cosmic Era (Mobile Suit Gundam Seed), Anno Domini (Mobile Suit Gundam 00), and Post-Disaster (Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans). The game will have four DLC sets, which will launch each month from December through March 2020. The first DLC will include characters from After War Gundam X, Turn A Gundam, and Gundam AGE.
