■ The Gouf Custom joins Principality forces in Alpha 3!

■ Gouf Custom MS-07B-3 (Assault Type)
Developed as an improvement to the Gouf, this suit boasts not only fearsome melee prowess but also ranged capabilities that outstrip its predecessor. The Assault Type is equipped with triple catling cannon, heat sword, and heat rod. This suit can be developed by Principality of Zeon players.

■ Matchmaking system improved! Reserve a slot or use the Live Camera!

Matchmaking for the biggest battles is easier than ever.
Alpha 3 adds the ability for players on different channels to join the same queue. By reserving a slot, players can customize, chat, and shop while they wait for a battle to begin.

Spectate with the Live Camera!
Before, the battlefield could only be seen up close, but now the Live Camera lets you see ships launch or the last moments of your foes!

More info about the game will be posted on the official site as it becomes available.
