Mobile Suit Gundam celebrates its 45th anniversary in 2024. Both Japanese and international audiences have discovered a science fiction work centred around a fictional robot, the Gundam, which has spanned generations and touched the hearts of millions. Numerous series are based on the setting and themes of the original Mobile Suit Gundam. Together, they form a chronological tapestry known as the Universal Century. Each instalment is historically linked to the previous ones and tells a story that deepens with each episode. These qualities have earned the Universal Century universe enduring popularity and the admiration of generations of fans. This is an all-new epic adventure into the heart of one of Japan’s most iconic anime universes: it’s Universal Century 0096. Three years after the last conflict between Neo Zeon and the Earth Federation, the latter hires an independent mercenary organisation to track down a former Commander who joined Neo Zeon remnants, the Sleeves.
