Gundam fans, prepare to clear your schedules and hoard your tokens. Bandai Namco has officially dropped a bombshell for the 8th Anniversary Pre-Festival: the legendary 00 Raiser is making its highly anticipated debut in Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation 2 (GBO2).

Mark your calendars, because this meta-shifting beast officially arrives on June 24th at 10 PM PT (which is 6 AM BST on June 25th for UK pilots). The drop will happen simultaneously across both PlayStation and Steam platforms.

The Power of Celestial Being: What to Expect

The 00 Raiser enters the fray as a 700-Cost General Unit, capable of dominating both ground and space battlefields.

For players who have been tracking recent leaks, this confirms that Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is officially taking over the high-cost meta. As a 700-cost unit, the 00 Raiser is poised to shake up the current power balance, bringing the raw power of its Twin Drive System and iconic GN Swords to intense 6v6 team battles.

Bandai Namco has also released a brand-new debut trailer showcasing the sleek suit in action, proving that the era of “Trans-Am Terror” has officially begun.

Guaranteed Drop: The 7-Step Boosted Supply Drop

If your luck with regular Gacha drops is notoriously bad, don’t panic. Alongside the release, GBO2 is launching the 00 Raiser Guaranteed Boosted Supply Drop.

Running from June 24th at 10 PM PT through July 1st, players can progress through a 7-step banner that offers incredible value:

• Step 1: 50% OFF tokens (only 15 tokens for a 10-pull).
• Steps 4–6: Drastically increased drop rates for $\star\star\star\star$ materials (up to 3x).
• Step 7: Guarantees the 00 Raiser LV1 mobile suit, plus a bonus custom part: Penetration Reduction Armor LV1 (which boosts ballistic/beam defence and reduces damage from MS-penetrating ranged weapons by 20%).

More 8th Anniversary Pre-Festival Goodies

The 00 Raiser is just the tip of the spear. The Pre-Festival event brings a massive wave of content to keep pilots busy:

• Daily Free Special Supply Drops: Get one free pull every day, guaranteeing a $\star\star\star$ or higher rarity Mobile Suit (up to 28 free suits in total).
• Incredible Login Bonuses: Simply log in over 7 days during the campaign to claim massive rewards, including the Unicorn Gundam LV1, a Celestial Being mark, the Banshee LV1, and the Phenex [NT] LV1.
• The Rival Approaches: Bandai Namco has already confirmed that the 700-Cost Raid unit Susanowo will follow closely behind the 00 Raiser, dropping the following week on July 1st!
