Interactive VR movie Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom is out now on PlayStation VR2.
Created by Bandai Namco Filmworks and Atlas V, Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom first released last year on Quest. Offering a VR interactive anime film with an original story, it's set three years after Char's Counterattack in the Universal Century 0096, delivering a more narrative-focused tale with light gameplay elements. After appearing last month on the PlayStation Store, that's now available on PlayStation VR2.
Silver Phantom focuses on a mercenary group called Argent Keil, presenting a neutral insight into the war between the Earth Federation and Zeon. With a group of Neo Zeon's remnants called The Sleeves causing issues, these scenes unfold across 6DoF, 360° environments and use a cel-shaded presentation to match the anime's visuals.
We went hands-on during Venice Immersive 2024 and considered publisher Astrea describing this as an interactive movie to be a smart decision. While we found the actual interactivity to be disappointingly limited, though you can still participate in mech battles, we believed Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom is an experience that's ultimately “carried by its narrative.”
Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom is out now on PlayStation VR2 and the Meta Quest platform.
