Nintendo’s Next Console to Feature Exclusive Gundam Rogue Orbit Battle Royale
Nintendo has secured an exclusive partnership with Bandai Namco to launch a Gundam Rogue Orbit battle royale on its next-generation console, shifting from traditional single-player tactics to high-stakes multiplayer orbital combat. Designed to compete with Fortnite and Apex Legends, the deal capitalizes on the franchise’s 30-million-unit global sales and targets the lucrative Gen Z mecha anime market. The move accelerates Nintendo’s pivot to online live-service revenue streams, with a projected $2.8 billion EBITDA lift over three years.
