‘Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance’ Game to Launch in ‘Fortnite’ Following Netflix Anime Release

“Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance” will launch as a game within Epic Games’ “Fornite” in connection with the Oct. 17 release of Netflix’s anime series of the same name.

From Bandai Namco Entertainment America and Look North World, the Unreal Engine-powered “island” within the online “Fornite” platform will be a free activiation “where players participate in a Team Deathmatch-style game in the Fortnite universe. Started by one of the founding members of Bungie, the creators of Halo, Look North World leverages new and emerging creator platforms, like UEFN and Curseforge, to build games for millions of existing players.”

“Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance” will launch soon after Netflix debuts the “Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance” anime series.

“Working with Look North World to help bring ‘Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance’ to life as a game within ‘Fortnite’ has been a wonderful experience,” Bandai Namco Entertainment America senior vice president of corporate development Karim Farghaly said. “Their ability to create exciting games for millions of fans and players on Creator Platforms like Fortnite is limitless, and adapting the upcoming Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance anime to a thrilling Team Deathmatch game highlights the power of Unreal Engine and the ingenuity and skill of Look North World. We can’t wait for Gundam fans to begin their Fortnite battles.”

Coming to Netflix on Oct. 17, Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance was animated entirely within Unreal Engine 5, and Look North World used the officially licensed assets to create an exciting new Team Deathmatch experience within Fortnite. During matches, players will power up their faction’s respective Mobile Suits by collecting points and assists for their team. Once powered up, a pilot is chosen from each team to unleash the awesome destructive power of their team’s Mobile Suit – the Gundam EX for the EFSF or the ZAKU II (Unidentified Type) Solari for the Zeon forces, helping their teams turn the tide of battle and securing victory.

“By building Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance within UEFN, we are able to combine the familiar team-based and competitive play of Fortnite with the power of Gundam. This approach allows us to deliver a unique, social, and fun experience to all Fortnite players. We are excited to partner with Bandai Namco Entertainment to bring the iconic Gundam universe to life in this new, interactive format,” said Alex Seropian, Founder and CEO of Look North World.

The Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance game will be available on every platform that Fortnite is available on PC, consoles, and Android phones, and is intended to release shortly after the Oct. 17 debut of the animated series on Netflix.
