Namco Bandai announced Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation, the free to play Gundam game for PlayStation 3, will be localized in another language. The bad news is it’s not English.

A free-to-play Mobile Suit Gundam game for the PlayStation 3 has brought in revenue of over 700 million yen (about $9 million), Namco Bandai’s EVP shared at TGS.

Namco Bandai is dabbling in the free to play market with one of their biggest brands – Gundam. Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation is an online mecha game where you fight other players in a Gundam or sneak into enemy bases to set explosives sans giant robot.

Each time you exit for a mission you need to spend “sortie energy” and you get at most 12 units for each 24 hour period. Players can stock up to three units of sortie energy and after those are used up you have to wait for the energy to recover.

Sure, you can pilot a mobile suit, but you can also fight on foot and a new trailer shows a squad of soldiers armed with rocket launchers take down a mech.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation, Namco Bandai’s free to play PS3 Gundam game, lets players team up for 4 vs. 4 or 6 vs. 6 giant robot battles.

The makers of Gundam Masters is working on a Gundam game for PlayStation 3 and Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation won’t even cost you a yen to download.

While mobile suits are blasting each other with beam rifles, you can also run around on foot as a pilot. Pilots can sneak into enemy territory, place bombs, and blow up an opponent’s base.

The next Mobile Suit Gundam game for PlayStation 3 will be free. Famitsu announced Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Operation, which is being made by Gundam Memories developer B.B. Studio.
