Namco Bandai today officially announced Mobile Ops: The One Year War for the Xbox 360. The game takes place in the original Gundam universe, where the Principality of Zeon wages a brutal war to break the space colonies free from the Earth Federation. The latest developments in weapons technology have given rise to Mobile Suits, giant piloted-robots that will decide the outcome of the war.

"With dramatic cockpit views and exquisitely detailed mobile suits, we fully expect Mobile Ops to immerse gamers into a futuristic world where giant mechas loom against a war-torn horizon," said Yoshi Niki, business director at Namco Bandai Games America. "As desperate battles ensue in both open battlefields and urban environments, players can choose to engage enemies on foot, in vehicles or in mobile suits."

Mobile Ops: The One Year War will release "holiday 2006."
