Bandai Namco has announced that free-to-play FPS Gundam Evolution is ending service on November 29, 2023.

Initially launched back on September 21, 2022, the game will have been online just a little over a year when it closes in November, and executive producer Kazuya Maruyama had this to say in a message for the community:

Thank you all for your continued support. This is Kazuya Maruyama, the Executive Producer for GUNDAM EVOLUTION.
It is with great sadness that we are announcing the conclusion of GUNDAM EVOLUTION.

The game’s service will end on November 29, 2023 (PST).
We wanted to create a title that brought FPS fans and Gundam fans together. We challenged ourselves to create an authentic Gundam FPS game that could be played globally.
Unfortunately, we have determined that it is no longer possible for us to provide a service that satisfies our players.  

We want to express our gratitude to everyone who has played the game and supported us to this point. At the same time, we would like to sincerely apologize to our fans and players.
Though GUNDAM EVOLUTION is coming to an end, updates will continue to roll out with Season 6 (adding a new unit and two maps) on August 23 (PDT) and the final season (adding a new unit and a map) on October 25 (PDT). We will do our best to ensure that our players can enjoy GUNDAM EVOLUTION to the fullest till the very end.
