Theatrical Tie-in: Gundam Hathaway’s Flash Goes Live in Battle Operation 2
Bandai Namco Asia rolls out a special promo to celebrate Hathaway’s Flash: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe in theaters. The event runs in MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM BATTLE OPERATION 2 for PS5 and PS4. Log in during the event to grab Xi Gundam Lv1 or Penelope Lv1. A weekly STEP UP Lottery also adds extra chances to score rare units.
A Fresh Mech Joins the Fray: Haze’n-thley II Rah Arrives
Haze’n-thley II Rah steps into the game for the first time, pulled from Advance of Zeta: The Flag of Titans. It lands as a four-star, ground and space capable unit with a purchase price of 700. A new trailer introduces its armament and how it fights in tight battles.
Two Signature Skills That Shape Battles
The unit brings two standout abilities. Immobile Fire System Lv. 2 kicks in when you fire from a fixed position, cutting back on reaction and stagger risk from repeated hits. It also lowers damage from ranged fire. Overload Lv. 3 lets you fully refuel weapon heat gauges when activated. It also slows heat buildup and shortens focus time while active. This is the move to finish a tough fight.
What Players Can Earn and How to Claim It
The Theatrical Release Campaign goes live at 1:00 PM on January 29, 2026. Signing in during the event gives you a shot at Xi Gundam Lv1 or Penelope Lv1—units that appear in Hathaway’s Flash: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe. A login bonus is also available, with more units like ZZ Gundam Lv1, Nu Gundam Lv1, and FA Unicorn Gundam Lv1.
Cosmetic Touches and Living Lobbies
During the event, battle lobbies get a Circe-style makeover. In the center, a Xi Gundam statue stands as a guard. The look is a tribute to the film and its mecha world, inviting players to check the new visuals up close.
Special Situation Battles and Weekly Rewards
From 1:00 PM on January 29, 2026, Special Situation Battles run with a Circe theme. Rewards include Gustav Karl Lv1 at STEP 1 in week 1 and Messer F01 Lv1 at STEP 2 in week 2. A second wave of challenges is planned for week 2, keeping the action fresh and the loot varied. The event runs until February 26, 2026 at 12:59 SGT. You can log in multiple times to collect all available bonuses.
STEP UP Lottery: Messer F01 & F02
For this period, a Guaranteed STEP UP Lottery focuses on Messer F01 and Messer F02. It includes three guaranteed units: Messer F02 Lv2 at STEP 1, Messer F01 Lv3 at STEP 2, and Messer F02 Lv3 at STEP 3. Four special weapons join the mix: Messer LBR Lv2, Messer Beam Saber Lv2, LBR Lv3, and Beam Saber Lv3. Weekly prizes continue through the event, making this a prime chance to grab Circe-era gear.
New Token Packs Featuring VR Operator Mafty
A Token Pack starring VR Operator Mafty, voiced by Kensho Ono, is back. The bundle offers 53 Tokens and one Operator, priced as a bargain. It pairs well with Xi Gundam, which can be earned via login bonuses or the lotteries during the event. Note that this re-release does not add new features, and players who bought it before should avoid duplicates.
More VR Operator Token Packs On the Way
Two new packs arrive: Token Pack featuring VR Operator Ple and Token Pack featuring VR Operator Ple-Two. The re-release of VR Operator Marida is also part of the lineup. Each pack includes 53 Tokens and an Operator at a bargain price. The promotion runs through February 26, 2026, 12:59 SGT.
What Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation 2 Is All About
Battle Operation 2 is a team-based shooter that puts more than 520 Mobile Suits into action. Teams of up to six players clash in online battles with free-to-start play. You feel the weight and impact of real battlefield action in both ground and space battles.
How the Game Feels in Play
Skimming across the battlefield with your chosen MS, you work with teammates to win. Players score by defeating enemy units, grabbing checkpoints, and destroying enemy bases. The team with the most points wins, so smart moves and map sense matter as much as raw firepower.
Customizing and Growing Your Armory
Back at base, you can recruit new MS and tune up existing ones. New machines arrive every week, adding fresh options to your roster. Build your own style and push your tactics to the limit.
