It looks like the Mobile Suit Gundam series is about to welcome a new entry. It has been some years since the franchise checked in on its Seed heroes, but that will change shortly. Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Freedom has been announced, and the movie just dropped its first trailer and poster.

As you can see below, the poster for Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Freedom is live, and it brings all of our leads to life. After 20 years, this art gives us a look at what happened in the world of Mobile Suit Gundam Seed once it ended. After all, the original series came to a close in September 2003, and its legacy has only grown since Mobile Suit Gundam put forth the series.

Of course, this poster launch has been made sweeter by the release of a trailer. Mobile Suit Gundam: Seed Freedom has released its first footage, and it looks gorgeous from start to finish. With Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne center stage, the new trailer brings a fledgling Cosmic Era to life. So if you have missed Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, this sequel film should have everything you need.

For those unfamiliar with Mobile Suit Gundam Seed, the franchise began under director Mitsuo Fukuda decades ago. As the IP’s ninth installment, Seed is set in the Cosmic Era after mankind has been divided into two sects. You have the Naturals, humans who reside on Earth, as well as Coordinators. The latter group are genetically enhanced humans who have found a home in space due to the persecution they face from Naturals. So as the series begins, we’re met with Kira, a young Coordinator, who is thrust into a war between mankind’s factions.
