The highly anticipated anime Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem of Revenge is set to launch globally on Netflix on Thursday, October 17, 2024. As part of the promotional build-up, Netflix released the first four minutes of the show during Day 1 of Geeked Week 2024, a major online and real-world festival showcasing upcoming anime, movies, and games.
First Look: A Tense Battlefield
The opening footage thrusts viewers into the intense setting of the European front during the One Year War, brought to life using Unreal Engine 5. Zeon soldiers navigate the silent, war-torn ruins before the scene escalates into fierce combat with the Earth Federation Forces. Amidst the chaos, Red Wolf’s Zaku II F-type makes its grand entrance, setting the stage for the protagonist Solari’s journey. This gripping introduction leaves fans wondering how Solari will confront the Earth Federation’s infamous “White Devil.”
New Character and Mecha Information Revealed
In addition to the sneak peek, Requiem of Revenge introduced new characters, mechas, and their distinct roles in the unfolding story. Here’s a breakdown of key figures from the Red Wolf Squadron:
- Solari: A newly promoted lieutenant and the protagonist. Known for his sarcasm and hot temper, he is nevertheless a skilled pilot and deeply loyal to Zeon.
- Adjutant: Solari’s longest-serving subordinate and an ace pilot. His humor lightens even the most dire situations.
- Marksman: A cold and calculating sniper, motivated more by money than Zeon’s independence.
- Magella Attack Pilot: Originally part of another unit, he joins Solari’s crew after a Federation Army assault.
- Doctor: A pacifist doctor who provides medical care regardless of allegiance, eventually aiding Solari’s team after getting caught in a Federation attack.

- Zaku II F-Type: Red Wolf Squadron’s go-to mobile suit, each customized with unique color schemes and modifications.
- Gouf Custom: Known for its devastating long-range Gatling Shield and close-combat Heat Saber, the Gouf is a versatile machine.
