It looks like Mobile Suit Gundam is kicking into high gear now that its new movie is on the horizon. If you did not know, the series is set to revive Mobile Suit Gundam Seed with its new feature, and the movie is going to launch in a matter of weeks. So of course, the team decided to gift fans a special trailer before Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Freedom was released.

As you can see above, the new trailer follows a slew of familiar faces. We can see Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne in and out of the cockpit. Set a year after the television anime, Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Freedom will explore the dichotomy of destiny. So if you have missed this classic Gundam series, you are in for a treat next year.

After all, Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Freedom has been in the works for a long time. The project dates back to 2006, but it was indefinitely postponed after writer Chiaki Morosawa became ill.
