When it comes to the mecha genre, Japan stands unrivaled as its pioneers, boasting two key iterations: real robot and super robot. Now, My.Games' War Robots is set to elevate the excitement by teaming up with the legendary designer Kunio Okawara for an exclusive in-game design!
Okawara's most recognizable work is his creation of the iconic Gundam, developed in collaboration with writer Yoshiyuki Tomino. This emblematic figure of the real robot genre has graced dozens of series and even featured in blockbuster Hollywood films like Ready Player One.
Soon, you'll have the chance to pilot an original creation by Kunio Okawara: the SWORD Unit 190, crafted in-universe by the DSC Corporation. Okawara has also designed optional drones and plasma guns to customize this formidable unit.
You'll need to wait a 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 promises a full throwback to the real robot genre.
It's easy to see why the War Robots team chose to collaborate with Okawara. Even if you're not familiar with his past work, this new design is poised to be an exciting and vivid addition to your arsenal.
