Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2

About Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation 2

Unlike Gundam Battle Operation NEXT, the first spinoff to the original Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation, Battle Operation 2 is closer to a true sequel that keeps and expands upon the gameplay mechanics of the original title, and completely abandons the fast-paced, arcade-styled elements of NEXT.

The game was initially only released in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. An option for English subtitles was added on October 24, 2018. The game was released to western territories, including North America and several European countries in October 2019 and English-language voice acting was added to the game in the January 27, 2021 update patch.

On January 27, 2021, an enhanced version of Gundam Battle Operation 2 was made available for the PlayStation 5. While cross-play is still permitted with players using the PlayStation 4 version, the PlayStation 5 version utilizes the inherently unique features of the DualSense controller, and boasts faster loading times and an increased framerate, though the loading times would still remain unchanged for PvP modes.

On April 7, 2022, network tests for a proposed PC port were announced on the game's Steam page. However, the first network test proved "unable to provide an adequate playing environment" and a planned second network test was postponed on June 23 and was not rescheduled until the following year, beginning on January 16, 2023 and running for three days. The proposed Steam port will not allow cross-play with the PlayStation versions.
