The GFL2 tokusatsu collabs officially stole the show during the 1.5 Anniversary special preview broadcast. Following up on their Kabutack crossover initiatives, Mica Team confirmed they are diving headfirst into classic Japanese sci-fi armor aesthetics with two massive properties: SSSS.Gridman and Ultraman.
While concrete release dates are still locked behind future developer logs, the official promotional assets give us a clear indication of how these properties will bend to fit the game’s tactical 3D grid engine.
SSSS.Gridman Speculation & Silhouette Breakdown
While the stream kept the upcoming roster behind classified file graphics, community veteran Ferrari pointed out the incoming collaboration intel on June 16, just ahead of the broadcast. The community’s immediate silhouette analysis proved to be spot-on, matching the distinct visual outlines from the broadcast against known franchise assets.
The breakdown confirms the upcoming appearance of premier GFL2 SSSS.Gridman characters, cleanly identifying the distinct profiles of Rikka Takarada and Akane Shinjo. Rather than giving them standard baseline rifles, community expectations point toward the characters utilizing custom tactical weapons or gear assemblies built out of the Gridman and Alexis Kerib kaiju frameworks. This matches how the studio has previously integrated non-combatant characters.
Netflix Ultraman Armor Integration
The Ultraman segment of the broadcast confirms a highly specific, grounded approach to the franchise’s universe that preserves the tactical scale of the core engine.
- Human-Scale Exo-Suits: The silhouettes shown on stream do not represent the traditional giant-sized iterations of the characters. Instead, Mica Team is explicitly pulling from the 3DCG armored configurations popularized by the Ultraman manga and Netflix animated adaptation.
- Confirmed Suit Lineup: The preview frames explicitly isolate the mechanical armor profiles of Dan Moroboshi’s Ultraseven Suit and Shin Hayata’s Zoffy Suit. Bringing human-scale alien technology and mechanical power suits onto the field allows the combat layout to remain uniform, letting players run tactical cover ops and drop special abilities without breaking the engine’s internal environmental scale.
Official gameplay trailers, specific recruitment banner structures, and base kit descriptions for both crossover events are scheduled to roll out via the game’s official social media hubs in the coming months. Stay tuned as we monitor the upcoming test server cycles for mechanical data.
