Namco Bandai and Koei have announced a co-publishing agreement that will bring Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 to North America and Europe in 2009 for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PlayStation 2.

"Dynasty Warriors Gundam was a sure-fire hit for the PS3 and we are ecstatic to continue our relationship with Koei on this amazing franchise," said Todd Thorson, director of marketing and public relations at Namco Bandai Games America.  "Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 promises to deliver an outstanding sequel with even larger Mobile Suits, more epic battles and compelling storyline."

“Last year Namco Bandai Games and Koei combined forces to create Dynasty Warriors Gundam. The result became one of the fastest-selling PS3 system games in Japan, and to date the game has sold over 800,000 units across multiple platforms worldwide,” said Amos Ip, Senior Vice President for Koei. “Our companies have come together once again, and we are excited about reuniting two very powerful cultural icons for another monumental gaming experience.”

In the future, rebel space colonies launch a brutal war of independence with a series of coordinated orbital strikes against Earth. The chaotic assault signals the dawn of a new age of combat and the ultimate instrument of warfare is born, the Mobile Suit.

"Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2" combines the devastating power of the Mobile Suit, the rich legacy of the Gundam universe and the furious Tactical Action game play of the Dynasty Warriors series. The game will thrust players into incredible battles against legions of enemy Mobile Suits on distant planetary surfaces and in the far reaches of outer space. For the first time, "Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2" will let players engage in melee battles against colossal enemies such as the Psycho Gundam. The massive Psycho Gundam can quickly reconfigure their bodies into titanic mobile fortresses which can move with remarkable speed. However, highly-trained pilots can utilize their own Mobile Suit’s speed, agility, and of course firepower to defeat these deadly juggernauts.

"Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2" will also include new stories featuring mecha from the latest Gundam anime, plus mecha from Char’s Counter Attack and more. With mecha parts collected throughout the course of the game, players will be able to adapt a Mobile Suit which can be piloted into combat.
