War Robots collaborates with renowned robot designer Kunio Okawara

Japan is renowned as a pioneer in the mecha genre, showcasing two significant styles: real robot and super robot. My.Games' War Robots is now set to collaborate with the acclaimed designer Kunio Okawara, known for his iconic work on the original Gundam, co-created with writer Yoshiyuki Tomino. The Gundam, a symbol of the real robot genre, has graced numerous series and even featured in blockbuster movies like Ready Player One.

Players will soon have the chance to command Okawara's latest creation, the SWORD Unit 190, an original design developed in-game by the DSC Corporation. This exclusive unit comes equipped with optional drones and plasma guns, all designed by Okawara himself.

This event pays homage to the real robot genre, and it's clear why War Robots chose to partner with Okawara.
