On the still ongoingSuper Robot Wars30th anniversary event, series producer Takanobu Terada shared a new update on theOGseries. I translated his comments below.
Super Robot Wars OGdevelopment update
After theSRW DDsegment ended, which revealed Ingram in the R-Gun is getting added to the game, producers Takanobu Terada and Hiroaki Oochi chatted a bit about theOGseries. They mentioned that they know fans are expecting a newSuper Robot Wars Original Generationgame, especially since past games and projects have been announced at anniversaries.
However, they won’t announce any for now. Terada actually wasn’t sure about bringing this up, and consulted Oochi before the event. And they acknowledged it’s better to be frank and tell the fans their current situation. They know we’re looking forward to it, and they haven’t forgotten about theOGseries. But we shouldn’t expect a new game for now.
The producers explained that with the Covid-19 pandemic, Bandai Namco asked them to focus on the development ofSRW DDandSRW 30. But they’re working on theOGseries as well, and will announce something when they can.
Terada also mentioned a lot of fans the last time he went overseas for an event all asked him aboutOriginal Generation, so he knows how much people love the series.
TheSuper Robot Wars Original Generationseries is ending soon?
Lastly, Terada mentioned that they are thinking of ending theSRW OGseries and how to wrap it up properly too. He didn’t say that the nextOGgame will necessarily be the final game, but they’re also keeping in mind they need to end it one day.
The lastOGgame was the amazingSuper Robot Wars OG The Moon Dwellerson PS3 an PS4. It was the firstSRWgame to get an English localization via an Asian release. Since then, it was followed bySuper Robot Wars V, X,andT.
