When it comes to mecha, Japan stands head and shoulders above the rest as pioneers of the genre. With two key iterations, real robot and super robot, they've shaped the landscape of mecha entertainment. Now, My.Games' War Robots is set to collaborate with veteran designer Kunio Okawara for an exclusive in-game design!
Okawara's work is most recognizable for his creation of the iconic Gundam, crafted alongside writer Yoshiyuki Tomino. This emblematic figure of the real robot genre has featured in numerous series over the years and even graced the screen in blockbuster films like Ready Player One.
Soon, you'll have the chance to pilot an original creation by Kunio Okawara—the SWORD Unit 190, developed in-universe by the DSC Corporation. Okawara has also designed optional drones and plasma guns that you can equip to enhance your unit's capabilities.
Real steel: You'll need to wait a little bit before getting your hands on the new SWORD unit. However, it's set to take center stage in the upcoming MECHA Raider S.W.O.R.D event, running from May 20th to June 1st. This event offers a full throwback nod to the real robot genre.
It's no surprise that the team at War Robots chose to work with Okawara. Even if you're not familiar with his prior work, this new design promises to be an exciting and vivid addition to your arsenal.
