War Robots collaborates with legendary designer Kunio Okawara

Japan's pioneering role in the mecha genre is undeniable, boasting the iconic styles of both real robot and super robot. Now, My.Games' War Robots is taking a significant step by collaborating with the legendary designer Kunio Okawara to bring an exclusive in-game design to its players.

Okawara's legacy in the mecha world is monumental, most notably for his design of the iconic Gundam, crafted alongside writer Yoshiyuki Tomino. This emblem of the real robot genre has not only graced numerous series but has also made a splash in Hollywood blockbusters like Ready Player One.

Soon, players will have the chance to pilot an original creation by Kunio Okawara himself—the SWORD Unit 190, developed in-universe by the DSC Corporation. Okawara has also designed optional drones and plasma guns to complement this new unit, enhancing the gameplay experience.

The SWORD Unit 190 will be the star of the upcoming MECHA Raider S.W.O.R.D event, set to run from May 20th to June 1st. This event promises a full homage to the real robot genre, making it a must-attend for fans and players alike.

The choice of Okawara as a collaborator is a testament to his influence and the respect he commands in the mecha community. Even if you're new to his work, the SWORD Unit 190 promises to be a thrilling and visually striking addition to your War Robots arsenal.
