Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS. Maxi Boost ON Announced for PS4
The game will offer both online and offline connectivity functions, so you’ll be able to play with your friends. Unfortunately, it seems like (because of those pesky licensing issues), the game will only be released in Japan. Oh, well. I guess it’s time to wait for Play-Asia to provide us with imports of the game, eh?
A demo of the PlayStation 4 version will be playable at Taipei Game Show 2020 from February 6 to 9 at the Bandai Namco Entertainment Taiwan booth. A special stage event will also be held on February 6 from 15:00 to 15:40 local time. So, maybe we’ll get some more details about this game there.
Here’s the announcement trailer:
