Super Robot Wars Y: Expansion Pack Announcement
Excitement is building among fans of the
Super Robot Wars franchise with the announcement of the upcoming
Expansion Pack for
Super Robot Wars Y, scheduled to be released on
April 22, 2026. This expansion will offer a treasure trove of content, including familiar mechas from iconic series, making it a must-have for fans.
What’s Included in the Expansion Pack?
The
Expansion Pack will include six beloved works:
1.
Legendary Giant God Ideon
2.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack - Beltorchika's Children
3.
The Idolmaster Xenoglossia
4.
Star Driver: The Movie
5.
Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo

Eureka: AO
Players can look forward to new
playable mechas and
additional missions designed to enhance the game experience. Specifically, there are:
- - 8 new playable units
- - 26 additional area missions
- - 1 new assist crew member
- - Inclusion of a high-challenge mode called MASTER
- - A special mission as a bonus for purchasing the Expansion Pack
Challenge Yourself with the MASTER Mode
For those seeking a significant challenge, the
MASTER mode pushes players to their limits. Enemies will be even tougher, with increased costs for upgrading mechs and penalties that include reduced experience gain. Players will need to strategize effectively, as using special commands during the enemy phase will be prohibited, and retrying after a game over will not be an option.
Version 1.3.0 Free Update
In conjunction with the Expansion Pack, a free
version 1.3.0 update will also roll out on
April 21, 2026. This will introduce:
- - New area missions titled Revolutionary War Records (3 episodes)
- - Area missions named Noah's Brand Chronicle (3 episodes)
- - Prologue mission for the Expansion Pack, Contact, which is accessible to players without purchasing the pack
- - Exclusive limited missions to unlock new units
The update will bolster gameplay stability and broaden the options available to players, laying the groundwork for an engaging experience.
