For years, the "GUNDAM FAN CLUB" smartphone app has been a staple for Japanese fans, serving as the official Gundam community hub. It hosted countless events and even offered exclusive merchandise only available to club members.
But today (2/9), the official word dropped: the app is officially shutting down on March 31, 2027. After launching in 2015, it's been a 12-year journey with fans, and now that ride is coming to an end.
In their official announcement, the team stated: "We sincerely thank everyone for their long-standing support and love for the Gundam Fan Club. Thanks to our many members, this service will conclude its operations on March 31, 2027. We extend our deepest gratitude for your incredible support over the approximately 12 years since the service launched in 2015."
This news has hit many fans hard. The community hosted so many events, and the membership experience was top-notch. To see it shut down after more than a decade is truly a sad moment for Gundam enthusiasts.
Regarding membership timelines: new sign-ups for annual Premium memberships will close on February 27, 2026, while new monthly memberships will cease on February 26, 2027.
The "GUNDAM FAN CLUB" served as the official fan app for the "Mobile Suit Gundam" series, offering everything from classic anime footage to the latest series content. It also provided exclusive member-only info and various limited perks, making it a crucial platform for many Gundam fanatics over the years. For long-time fans, this service shutdown definitely feels like the end of an era.
