Japan has long been a leader in the mecha genre, excelling in both real robot and super robot iterations. Now, My.Games' War Robots is set to collaborate with renowned designer Kunio Okawara for an exclusive in-game design that promises to thrill fans.
Kunio Okawara is most famous for his work on the iconic Gundam, co-created with writer Yoshiyuki Tomino. This emblematic figure of the real robot genre has graced numerous series and even appeared in blockbuster films like Ready Player One. Now, players can experience piloting an original creation from Okawara himself—the SWORD Unit 190, developed in-universe by the DSC Corporation. Okawara has also designed optional drones and plasma guns to enhance this unit.
You'll have to wait a bit before getting your hands on the SWORD Unit 190, but it's slated to star in the upcoming MECHA Raider S.W.O.R.D event, running from May 20th to June 1st. This event is a full tribute to the real robot genre, celebrating its rich heritage.
It's clear why War Robots chose to partner with Okawara. His expertise and iconic designs are a perfect fit for the game. Even if you're not familiar with his previous work, the SWORD Unit 190 is set to be a vibrant and exciting addition to your arsenal.
