Bandai Namco held today the usualSuper Robot Warsmonthly stream. The stream was over 2 hours long and featuredSuper Robot Wars T, which is out in a few hours on Switch and PS4, the already releasedSuper Robot WarsX-Ωmobile game, and the new upcoming mobile game,Super Robot Wars DD.You can read aboutSuper Robot Wars T’spart of the stream here.DuringSuper Robot Wars DD’s segment, Producer Red, whose real name is Masatoshi Akai, shared some development updates on the game. FollowingSuper Robot Wars DD’s playtest session in December 2018, the staff received intense feedback from the players. TheÂSRW DDdevelopment team carefully combed through the feedback these past three months while working on the game. They now need more time to answer the players' expectations and the game will be launching a bit later this year. Taking this into consideration, Producer Red announced that the game will be launching between Summer and Fall 2019.As a reminder,Super Robot Wars DDhas 4 different Worlds to start with, with each World having different series. At some point in the story, all units from all 4 Worlds will converge together. Units are obtainable through the story, while new weapons and parts are obtainable through the gacha.It was announced on today’s stream that players will be able to do a different World’s starting stages even though they picked another World at the beginning. All the units and characters they unlocked so far will be usable in other Worlds too.NewSuper Robot Wars DDgameplay was shown on stream as well, played by Yohei Azakami, the seiyuu of Dido, the Original protagonist of the game. It was Azakami’s second time on stream now, and when asked what’s the thing he likes the most about the streams, he said the food they get before it.
As usual, at the end of the stream, a photo with the personalities of each game’s segment was published on Twitter. This is the photo for theSuper Robot Wars DDsegment. We have from left to right:SRW DDprotagonist’s seiyuu Yohei Azakami,SRW DDProducer Red,Super Robot Wars X-ΩProducer Hiroaki Oochi andSRW X-Ωprotagonist’s seiyuu Kenji Akabane. The photo is quite funny and illustrates the “rivalry” between the twoSRWmobile games.
Super Robot Wars DDwill launch in Japan, but also in Taiwan, Macao, and Hong Kong with specific localizations. Producer Red already said in a previous stream that “players overseas will be able to play the game as well” but it’s unclear if he meant those versions or if an English version will be announced at some point.
