This year is the 30th anniversary of mecha franchise Gundam. To celebrate there will be a 1/1 statue as well as a new PS3 game.

Called Mobile Suit Gundam: Battlefield Record U.C.0081, the game supports up to 8 players via the PlayStation Network and could possibly be the spiritual successor to PlayStation 2 title Mobile Suit Gundam: Lost War Chronicles.

A Gundam title for the PS3 called Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire was released in 2006 as a launch title for Sony's console.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Battlefield Record U.C.0081 does not have an announced release date. It's currently 60 percent finished.
