Bandai Namco have confirmed the Japanese release date for Super Robot Wars T.

The game will be launching on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on March 20th 2019. While an Asian English version has been confirmed (for regions such as Singapore and Malaysia), no release date for those regions have been confirmed at this stage.

In addition, preorder bonuses have been revealed. These include Special Scenario Chapter 0: “Approval Number T1023” (a scenario before the first chapter that offers a special reward), a“Special Starter Pack” (containing 100k in funds, 1000 Tac Points, “Quark Boost” and “Force Reactor” upgrade parts), and a new original playable robot Gespenst.
