The release windows for the next games may have just been revealed and fans may need to wait longer than expected for them to drop. Announced in early 2024, the forthcoming is one of the series' most anticipated releases while the Generation 10 games, which haven't been formally unveiled, is already generating plenty of hype and speculation. While these tentpole installments are no doubt the biggest titles fans are anticipating, it seems that 2024 may be a significantly slower year for The Pokémon Compant as it prioritizes a smaller but still exciting game.
Gundam Breaker 4 Release Date Announced Along With Exclusive Screens

Bandai Namco has officially announced Gundam Breaker 4's release date, confirming that the first numbered entry in the series in six years will be out August 29.
Like other games in the series, Gundam Breaker 4 is an action game based on the franchise's plastic model fandom, known as Gunpla. It allows players to mix and match together popular Gundams to create their own units, sometimes with amusing results.
You can check out our slideshow below feature several exclusive screenshots to see what you can expect.
Despite its name, Gundam Breaker 4 is the fifth major release in the series. The most recent game, titled New Gundam Breaker, was panned by fans and reviewers alike for poor technical performance and watered down mechanics. Gundam Breaker 4 is a deliberate attempt to get back to the formula from the first three games, which retain a dedicated fanbase.
The official release touts more than 250 mobile suits, with newcomers including the Gundam Aerial from the fan-favorite Witch from Mercury. It will also include co-op multiplayer supporting up to three players as well as the ability to use two different weapons for unique combos — a first for the series.
A diorama mode will be available that will allow players to "construct elaborate scenarios with a variety of backgrounds, environmental elements, and special effects, then place Gunpla creations to capture the perfect pose with highly articulable models."
Gundam Breaker 4 will release in Digital Deluxe and Digital Ultimate Edition versions, with the former offering early access to parts from 15 hero mobile suits and five story mission packs, and the latter offering a special Diorama Pack.
Gundam Breaker 4 is currently under development for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. For more, check out the rest of the biggest games coming out in 2024.

Exclusive: Gundam Breaker 4's Devs on Learning From Past Mistakes, Switch Performance, and More
It’s best not to put too much stock in Gundam Breaker 4’s name. Despite its title, it’s not the fourth game in the series. That honor goes to New Gundam Breaker, which Bandai Namco prefers to overlook due to its middling reviews and overall poor reputation with the fanbase. Instead, Gundam Breaker 4 will be the fifth console release in the now decade-old series, and what Bandai Namco hopes will be a fresh start for the franchise overall.
