Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn

Shin Gundam Musou (真・ガンダム無双) is the fourth installment of the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam series.

Yoshitaka Gotō serves as the director while Hidefumi Komino (Bandai-Namco) and Hisashi Koinuma act as producers. The Shin in the Japanese title is something that the director wanted to do back in 2010 but felt more appropriate for this entry. Gotō considered the anime cell shading to be too flashy and pushed for the realistic visual style of the first title. Koinuma commented that the previous style did allow for them to place as many Mobile Suits (MS) as possible into the field, but he felt that their ability to show off each MS's features were limited. He hopes the realistic approach can bring back familiarity with each Suit.

First print bonus is a serial code for the Bearguy MS.

Gameplay
The general graphic and audio layout of the game returns to a style reminiscent to the second title.


 * Official Mode is back with SEED, SEED DESTINY and Unicorn confirmed as the new arcs for dramatization. Returning arcs (all except ZZ) will have more cinematics and scenes than previous entries. Spliced footage of the original anime will also be included within the game.
 * "Ultimate Mode" is roughly described as a reversion to the second title's system: players can select their preferred pilot to complete a series of short stories and homage missions unrelated to Official Mode. The theme of this mode is "crossover events".
 * Ace pilots from either side of the battle can now move bases around the battlefield at whim. Space battles make a comeback.
 * Mission objectives are listed at the bottom right hand corner for player convenience.
 * Partner Strikes have been strengthened to include "Combination Burst", a summon which calls warships for support.
 * MS now have individual sets of weaponry. Players can alter each weapon's length and girth at the mechanic. It's possible to individually customize each MS's parts. Other upgrades for the MS customization system have been mentioned but not revealed yet.
 * Mobile Armors can now be used as playable units.

Mobile Suits
Over 120 different Suits are noted to be in the game which surpasses previous entries. Like the third title, returning MS have all been tweaked. The known new Suits in this title are:
 * RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee
 * GAT-X105 Strike Gundam
 * GAT-X303 Aegis Gundam
