機動戦士ガンダム 復讐のレクイエム or "Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance" is a Japanese + American co-production (Bandai Namco + SAFEWORKS) and is part of the long-running Gundam series.  Done entirely in CGI (Unreal Engine V), it debuted on October 17, 2025.  It is set in the early part of the Gundam timeline during the One Year War, after the Principality of Zeon seceded from the Earth Federation, declared independence, and then invaded Earth.

The story is told from the perspective of the invading Zeon at a time when they had not yet known that the Earth Federation Forces (EFF) had a formidable new weapon, the Gundam, a powerful and terrifying Mobile Suit.

Watched this.  Enjoyed it.   Hope there are more of the same coming up.

Regretted watching this. CGI is late 1990s jank level and the story is nothing to write home about.
