In the latest and more detailed trailer for Super Robot Wars Y , we now know all the series included and that it will be released this August. As per previous Super Robot Wars games, the initial teaser trailer doesn’t tend to reveal the full roster of series involved in each game. These are normally announced properly in a longer and more detailed trailer that follows the initial teaser.
This new and longer trailer (shown below) is the one that reveals the full roster, and there are some interesting additions. One of the bigger surprises is the inclusion of Godzilla Singular Point and its version of the robot Jet Jaguar . This is definitely a cool addition to the series, but I do miss the crazy battleship additions from previous entries.
While this game has its own OG battleship, much like Super Robot Wars 30 , I had hoped we’d have seen something from an anime like Outlaw Star or something similar, but oh well, it seems that tradition was short-lived. The other big thing is the inclusion of Dunbine again (show above), and the fact that the game will also have units from the 1988 OVA. My guess is that we will see even more Aura Phantasm designs this time around, following the recent and massive increase in popularity for Dunbine as a whole.
The Gundam roster of units is also pretty strong and definitely feels more catered to a Western audience, which is no bad thing. The big and welcome addition is that of Reideen , which hasn’t been included in the games for a good while. Originally released back in 1975, Reideen is also celebrating its 50th anniversary this year .
As for the rest, we have a bunch of DLC units that will be from Super Robot Wars V , X , and T , and the addition of Cybuster . The latter being the Super Robot Wars series equivalent of “we have Dunbine at home” and originated from the spin-off Maso Kishin games. The other nice bit of news is that one of the OG mecha for the game will also be getting a Robot Damashii toy .
Super Robot Wars Y will be released on August 28 for Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC. Follow me on X , Facebook and YouTube . I also manage Mecha Damashii and am currently featured in the Giant Robots exhibition currently touring Japan.
