Three anime projects were announced at the “2nd Gundam Conference” streamed today on September 15, including a new TV anime series Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, and a new anime film Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan’s Island. Both of them are scheduled to be released in 2022.

 

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury will be the Gundam anime franchise’s first TV series in seven years since Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans in 2015-2017. No further information has been revealed yet, except that it will be broadcast on TV in 2022.

The first series’ character designer / chief animation director Yoshikazu Yasuhiko will serve as the director.
