Mecha fans and tactics enthusiasts, assemble! Bandai Namco’s premier tactical turn-based RPG, Super Robot Wars Y, is officially celebrating a huge milestone: the 35th anniversary of the iconic Super Robot Wars franchise (alongside a massive milestone of over 20 million copies sold worldwide!).

To mark the occasion, the developers have dropped a gigantic content drop featuring a free Version 1.4.0 title update and the brand-new paid Anniversary Expansion Pack DLC. Whether you’re a long-time Commander or just starting your journey to save the galaxy, there’s never been a better time to jump back into the cockpit.

Here is everything you need to know about what’s landing in Super Robot Wars Y on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam).

What’s Included in the Free Update (v1.4.0)?

You don’t have to spend a single credit to enjoy some fantastic quality-of-life enhancements and commemorative content. The free update brings:

• Two New Commemorative Missions: Unlocked during Chapter 2 once specific conditions are met, these special missions celebrate both the 35th anniversary of the franchise and the 20 million copies sold milestone.
• Pilot Level Cap Raised to 200: Take your favourite iconic pilots to unprecedented power levels!
• New “BOOST” Mode: Perfect for speeding up character progression or easing into greater difficulties, BOOST mode doubles your earned Experience, Credits, and MXP while reducing the cost of aircraft modifications and pilot training.

Take the Fight Further: The Anniversary Expansion Pack DLC

For players hungry for fresh storyline content and firepower, the Anniversary Expansion Pack serves as the ultimate victory lap for Super Robot Wars Y.

The paid DLC packs a serious punch with:

• 33 New Area Missions: Plus an exclusive Anniversary Expansion Purchase Mission to put your strategic prowess to the test.
• 5 New Playable Units: Expand your squad roster with powerhouse mechs, including fan-favourite additions like the Gundam Calibarn from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.
• 1 New Assist Crew Member: Bring fresh strategic support skills into battle.
• 12 Universal Weapons: Give all units in your army powerful new armament options to customise your favourite mechs.
• Expanded Combination Attacks: Unleash devastating cross-over attacks between units, adding brand-new tactical synergy across series types!

The Ultimate Mecha Crossover Continues

Since its launch, Super Robot Wars Y has stood out for its sprawling crossover narrative, smooth battle animations, and deep customisation systems. Bringing together beloved franchises—from classic series like Aura Battler Dunbine, Zeta Gundam, and Getter Robo Arc to modern powerhouses like SSSS.DYNAZENON and Godzilla Singular Point—it remains a dream playground for anime and strategy fans alike.

The free Version 1.4.0 update and the Anniversary Expansion Pack are available now across PS5, Switch, and PC.

Fire up your thrusters, upgrade your squad, and get ready to command the battlefield!
