The proper debut of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury came on March 29th when, as part of their-aptly named Gundam Conference, Bandai Namco premiered the series’ first official teaser trailer.
Though brief, the teaser not only revealed the series’ as-of-yet unnamed protagonist – the first proper female lead in franchise history – but also what will ostensibly be her main Mobile Suit, the Gundam Aerial.

The first proper television entry in the franchise since 2015’s Iron-Blooded Orphans (Gundam Build Divers, released in 2018, features Mobile Suits as Gunpla kits rather than actual vehicles) Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury is set to premiere in October 2022.
When it does, it will do so as the first Gundam series produced since long-time franchise animation studio Sunrise was reorganized into Bandai Namco Filmworks, effectively ending its existence.
