Super Robot Wars 30 new trailer, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Resurrection new mecha

While the new trailer was shown on stream, there is no official upload yet, so please be patient as we’ll update this story with the trailer soon.

In Super Robot Wars 30, Lelouch and C.C. pilot the Gekkoei Sui, a new mecha based on the Gekkoei appearing in the Lelouch of the Resurrection movie. In the movie, the Gekkoei is incomplete and has no legs, so producer Terada asked Sunrise if they could make a new design with legs to put the unit in the game. The design was handled by Eiji Nakada. Sunrise also did the storyboard for the mecha’s attacks.

The trailer also revealed Banagher is playable. But it’s Banagher from Gundam Narrative and producer Takanobu Terada specified that the Unicorn Gundam will not be playable. He also teased that the third trailer for Super Robot Wars 30 is coming very soon, probably at Tokyo Game Show 2021. So they purposefully avoided showing certain things in PV2. GaoGaiGar doesn’t even show up for example, and they saved the final Victory Gundam upgrade and L-Gaim MK2 for PV3.
