After a few years in Japanese arcades, the latest entry in the long-running Mobile Suit Gundam gaming franchise, Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. MaxiBoost On, will launch on July 30 for PlayStation 4.

In addition to the release date announcement, publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment confirmed that MaxiBoost On will hold a closed PS4 beta from April 25-27.
