Neo France's Knight Unveiled: Gundam Rose to Join 'Extreme Vs. 2 Infinite Boost' on June 17

On the official social media channels for the popular competitive action game Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. 2 Infinite Boost (hereafter referred to as "Inibu"), it was announced that Gundam Rose from Mobile Fighter G Gundam will be joining the roster as a new playable unit in the upcoming update on June 17, 2026. This surprise announcement sent shockwaves through the community, with "Gundam Rose" immediately trending on social media.

"I've Been Waiting 10 Years!" Fans Rejoice Over Long-Awaited Playable Debut

Since Gundam Rose has rarely appeared even as an assist unit or CPU-only opponent in past entries, fans who have long wished for its inclusion responded with overwhelming surprise and joy. Social media was flooded with passionate comments such as, "No joke, I’ve been waiting about 10 years for Gundam Rose!" and "I've been saying for ages how much I wanted it to join, and now it's actually happening!" With the release of the promotional video (PV), player hype has reached an absolute fever pitch.

Shuffle Alliance Near Completion: Is Bolt Gundam Next?

Most of the core members of the "Shuffle Alliance" from Mobile Fighter G Gundam are already playable in the game. With Gundam Rose now entering the fray, fans are eagerly looking forward to the completion of the group. Comments like "Does this mean Bolt Gundam is the only Shuffle Alliance member left?" and "Just one more to go to assemble the full Shuffle Alliance—we're waiting for you!" have been pouring in, expressing strong hope for the final machine's arrival.

Expectations High for Versatile Tactics with Roses Bits: How Will It Perform?

Following the PV release, fans on social media have already begun analyzing the unit's gameplay potential. Attention is focused on the combination of its "ground-running" mobility—a characteristic unique to Mobile Fighters (MF)—and its signature funnel-like "Roses Bits." Speculation is rife: "It has funnels, so it looks like it can hold its own," "I get the feeling it's taking the best traits of the current top-tier units," and "It looks like a 2000-cost unit, but it seems really strong." There is also widespread praise for the newly recorded character lines, with fans commenting that "Yamazaki's voice acting is absolutely god-tier."

The elegant knight, Gundam Rose, will soon take to the battlefield to fight for its homeland, Neo France. Detailed information is scheduled to be released at a later date on the "Gundam VS. Mobile" site. Anticipation among pilots is sure to continue building ahead of the June 17 update.

The Context

Mobile Fighter G Gundam, which aired in 1994, is a unique entry in the Gundam franchise that trades traditional military sci-fi for over-the-top martial arts tournaments. In this universe, nations settle political disputes through the "Gundam Fight." Gundam Rose, piloted by the noble George de Sand, represents Neo France. Along with the protagonist Domon Kasshu, George is a member of the "Shuffle Alliance," an elite group of martial artists. The Gundam Extreme Vs. series is a highly popular, fast-paced 2v2 arcade fighting game franchise in Japan. For years, fans have begged for the full Shuffle Alliance roster to be playable, and this latest update brings them one step closer to that dream.
