Building a Gundam (model) is one of the most cathartic experiences in life, but in case you don't want to spend several dozen hours assembling one, there is a digital solution. Specifically, Gundam Breaker 4, where you can not only combine parts to create your ultimate mobile suit but also test it out in battle once you're done. Preorders for the game are now live ahead of its launch on August 29 for PC, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. You can grab the game from a variety of retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop.

Gundam Breaker 4 preorder bonuses

As a bonus for buying Gundam Breaker 4's launch edition, players can get a poster and reversible box art alongside digital extras like more builder's parts and an early unlock of the RX-78 Gundam Recirculation color palette. Keep in mind that "launch editions" sometimes sell out prior to release, and games typically shift to a standard edition without the goodies once the first printing is out of stock.

Gundam Breaker 4

$60

The latest Gundam Breaker sequel launches with a staggering number of base kits to build with: 250 in total. From here, you can customize various aspects of your build, and if you're missing any parts, you can head into the arena and snatch them from your enemies.

Once you have everything you need, you can get to work customizing your Gunpla model with paint, weathering, and decals, and then proudly display it using the game's diorama mode. You can find multiple backgrounds and special effects here to help you create some cool snapshots.

Or take your custom Gunpla through a variety of intense missions in online or single-player modes. To sum it up in three words, break, build, and battle your way to victory. Some of the Gundam models teased for the game include some of the all-time greats, like Strike Freedom, Victory, and RX-78 Gundams.

As an added bonus, you won't need to worry about cleaning up tiny pieces of plastic debris or figuring out where you're going to store your Gunpla models when you're done playing with them.
