Level 5's New Mech RPG Combat Game Could Scratch Your Gundam Itch

Developer Level 5 has just dropped its new mech RPG game, Megaton Musashi W: Wired. It's available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.

The game was first released in Japan for consoles in November 2021 and has now made its way internationally. It was originally scheduled for a 2023 release but was pushed back, and preorders began earlier this month on April 11.

The story follows a young man named Yamato Ichidaiji in the year 2118. Alien forces called the Draktor have wiped out almost all of humanity and it's up to him and his fellow pilots in giant robots, called Rogues, to reclaim Earth.

Megaton Musashi W: Wired is one of several projects that Level 5 currently has in development. Inazuma Eleven: Victory, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, and Decapolice are all slated to be released this year. Only Fantasy Life i currently has a set release date, which is set for October.

Level 5's Vision 2024: To the World's Children games showcase was supposed to air this month, but it was postponed to sometime in the summer. The company did not reveal any reasons for delay.
