During Slitherine Next, the biannual event showcasing all the latest news about the publisher’s future projects, the future of the series was unveiled.

After the first successful title, Radio Commander: Vietnam ‘64, the publisher acquired the franchise in December 2025, diving into the effort to highlight these hidden gems.

Prepare your maps, sharpen your instincts, and await further orders. The battlefield is changing, and victory will belong to those who can make cunning decisions with incomplete information.

Radio Commander: Pacific ’41 is entering the headquarters. The next chapter in the Radio Commander franchise expands the original concept into the vast and unforgiving Pacific War. Here, commanders will not witness the fighting firsthand. There is no direct view of the battlefield, only reports, static-filled transmissions, and the burden of command.

Can you fight a war without ever looking at the field?

Lead operations across the Pacific by interpreting fragmented intelligence, issuing radio commands, coordinating tactical missions, and making decisions entirely from the operations room.

Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. revealed new details for GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. The company unveiled the game’s connection to the upcoming anime Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO, a closer look at the worldview, and new information for Gunpla. Developed by Bandai Namco Studios Inc., GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT is a fast-paced, high-mobility action game that introduces a brand-new timeline in the Gundam saga, where humanity fights for survival against an unknown threat. The game is slated to launch in 2027 on PlayStation®5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC via Steam®. For more information, visit gundamrogueorbit.com.

Special guests from the Gundam team from Japan attended the panel to highlight the RG Project, a new initiative that connects the upcoming anime Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO and GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT through a shared world. The project’s worldview was created by director Kenji Kamiyama and author Toh Enjoe, establishing the foundation for a setting that will be expanded through a never-before-seen approach in the Gundam series. Players will experience the game as a Gundam pilot in an original story set beyond the events of the anime. Attendees also got a closer look at the official worldview synopsis:

The three revelations delivered by the Autonomous Interstellar Object from another galaxy ushered in an age of unprecedented prosperity, allowing humanity to expand across the entire solar system.

Gravity Control. FTL Communication. Cognitive Materialization. Yet less than ten years after its discovery, the Object that had delivered these three revelations suddenly ran rampant, spawning an aggressive, self-proliferating ecosystem.

Humanity came to see this unknown ecosystem as the Apocalypse.

For three months, humanity fought the Apocalypse to a standstill in orbit above Earth. Forced to abandon the planet, humanity marked that year as A.A. 1—the first year After Apocalypse.

By A.A. 45, children born on the Moon and in space colonies have never known life without the Apocalypse.

And on the lunar surface, a boy named Ray Azumi awakens—

The presentation also revealed more details about the Gundam Helix, the high-mobility mobile suit piloted by ace pilot RE-X. In GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT, players will suit up as RE-X to battle enemy hordes, massive bosses, and seemingly insurmountable challenges in fast-paced combat across sprawling battlefields. Designed with a strong focus on realism, Gundam Helix was crafted to feel like a weapon that could exist in the real world, while its waist and spinal design draw inspiration from Gundam ZERO in Mobile Suit Gundam RG XARX-ZERO.

GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT tie-ins across the broader Gundam universe were also announced. Fans can look forward to the HG 1/144 GUNDAM HELIX Gunpla model kit at retailers, while the game’s Collector’s Edition will include the exclusive HG 1/144 ARK-10 GUNDAM HELIX (EARTH BLUE ver.). GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT will also join the Gundam Card Game, with a promotional card featuring the game’s key art to be distributed at events ahead of its inclusion in future products.

After reaching a record-breaking $3.5M+ funding since its launch on Kickstarter, making it the platform’s biggest movie launch day of all time, Felicia Day’s The Guild: Ren Faire’d has added two new cast members to its minstrel players. Announced today, Misha Collins (Supernatural, Gotham Knights, The Boys) is officially joining the fold as is Nathan Fillion (Firefly, The Rookie, Superman), as revealed earlier this week.

“I’m thrilled to report that thanks to our incredible community, we’ve officially met Misha’s *cough* ‘demands,’ and he’s joining The Guild: Ren Faire’d alongside our dear friend Nathan Fillion,” said Felicia Day, creator of The Guild. “I’m so grateful and humbled by the response of our fans, and I can’t wait to give them the reunion movie they deserve, powered by an amazing cast. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Since its launch on July 20, the campaign has received support from more than 22,000 backers, surpassing its original goal by 133.3%. This achievement marks a major milestone for independently produced entertainment, ensuring the original “Knights of Good” return for a new, blockbuster-style feature-length adventure ahead of The Guild’s 20th anniversary in 2027.

Created, written by, and starring Day, The Guild: Ren Faire’d will reunite Codex (Felicia Day), Zaboo (Sandeep Parikh), Vork (Jeff Lewis), Tink (Amy Okuda), Clara (Robin Thorsen), and Bladezz (Vincent Caso), continuing their story in the same independent, community-driven spirit that made the original series a defining part of online fandom and geek culture.

The Guild premiered on July 27, 2007, and followed the members of an online gaming guild whose virtual adventures frequently collided with their real lives. Supported in part by fan contributions, the series ran for six seasons and 70 episodes, plus three music videos, and generated more than 300 million lifetime views across platforms. Across its run, The Guild earned six Streamy Awards and four International Academy of Web Television Awards, appeared on Rolling Stone’s list of “The Net’s Best Serial Shows,” and was recognized by the Smithsonian Institution, which accessioned Codex’s costume into its digital culture collection.
