McDonald’s Japan has revealed a new crossover campaign featuring Mobile Suit Gundam, which primarily promotes new Chicken Tatsuta burgers. This marks a new occasion the fast food chain holds a crossover with the mecha anime show after previously holding one starring Char Aznable in 2022.

The chain’s Japanese official social media account has published a menu based on the new collaboration. It will include brand-new variations to the Chicken Tatsuta burger, such as Cheese Chicken Tatsuta and Tartare Youlinji-styled Chicken Tatsuta. The menu also newly introduces McFizz and McFloat drinks with Japanese Citrus Yogurt flavor. The Shaka Shaka Potato fries with Potato Butter seasoning complete this menu.

McDonald’s Japan has also uploaded a 15-second commercial video titled Mobile Suit Gundam: The Invincible Burger on its YouTube channel. Even though the video starts with Amuro Ray launching an RX-78-2 Gundam with a Chicken Tatsuta livery, it does not feature narrations by Amuro’s voice actor, Tooru Furuya. The video also shows other White Base crew members like Frau Bow, Kai Shiden, and Mirai Yashima holding the Chicken Tatsuta burgers.

The Mobile Suit Gundam Chicken Tatsuta collaboration burgers will be available in McDonald’s Japanese outlets for a limited time starting from April 15, 2026.
