The browser-based online game Gundam Tribe is officially ending on May 27 at 6:00 p.m. JST, marking almost 10 years since it first launched. This was announced on the game’s social meida, managed by Bandai Namco Online.

Before shutting down, the game is running a special 10th Anniversary Pre-Final/Final campaign as a way to thank players.

As part of this event, the game is introducing ‘memorial units,’ which bring back nostalgic characters, along with new special units never seen before.

Players won’t be able to purchase anything in-game after March 31 at 6:00 p.m. JST, when sales, including premium currency banners, will be completely disabled. Once the service ends in May, the game will be unplayable.

Gundam Tribe first launched in June 2015 as a browser game that required a Japanese Yahoo account. Now, after nearly a decade, it’s reaching the end of its journey.

Mark is the kind of person who gets way too excited about new software updates and can’t resist taking apart gadgets—just to see if they can put them back together. With years of experience in tech journalism and a love for all things digital, Mark writes about the stories behind the screens, from game-changing innovations to the everyday tech that keeps life running smoothly. Outside of work, they’re the go-to “tech support” for friends and family, whether it’s fixing a printer that won’t cooperate or explaining why Grandma’s laptop keeps showing pop-ups. When Mark isn’t glued to their screen, they’re probably building their dream PC, rewatching sci-fi movies for the hundredth time, or testing a gadget that promises to “change everything.” Spoiler: they’ll let you know if it actually does.
