News: More mecha battling on the PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Several days after being announced for Japan, Namco Bandai has gone ahead and announced that Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 will be released on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2009. Once again developed by Koei's Omega Force team, the game will include online play and, according to Koei, "be bigger, better and more spectacular in every way."

Here's what else they had to say about the game:

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 combines the devastating power of the Mobile Suit, the rich legacy of the Gundam universe and the furious Tactical Action game play of the Dynasty Warriors series. The game will thrust players into incredible battles against legions of enemy Mobile Suits on distant planetary surfaces and in the far reaches of outer space. For the first time, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 will let players engage in melee battles against colossal enemies such as the Psycho Gundam. The massive Psycho Gundam can quickly reconfigure their bodies into titanic mobile fortresses which can move with remarkable speed. However, highly-trained pilots can utilize their own Mobile Suit's speed, agility, and of course firepower to defeat these deadly juggernauts.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 will also include new stories featuring mecha from the latest Gundam anime, plus mecha from Char's Counter Attack and more. With mecha parts collected throughout the course of the game, players will be able to adapt a Mobile Suit which can be piloted into combat.

We'll have more soon.
