Super Robot Wars Y Producer Toma Kota Details The Game's DLC Series

Bandai Namco held on August 19, 2025, one last live stream before the August 28 launch of Super Robot Wars Y on Steam, PS5 and Switch 1. The stream featured a new trailer revealing the game's DLC series:

DLC 1 Contract from the Darkness

-Galactic Cyclone Braiger
-The Big O
-Fuuto Pi The Portrait of Kamen Rider Skull

DLC 2 Awakening of a Soul

-Kotetsu Jeeg
-Dynamic Planning Original: Getter Robot - The Jet-Black Drifters
-Brave Of The Legend Da-Garn

After the trailer ended, Super Robot Wars Y producer Toma Kota (henceforth TomaP) shared several comments on each of these series (57:20 timestamp). I translated his words below:

TomaP noted that most fans remember Braiger in Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden. However, the series also appeared in SRW Neo in 2009, and it's the first time since then that Braiger is in a console SRW game. He added that Braiger is a powerful unit since it has four pilots: Kid, Omachi, Isaac, Bowie, and how they have unique Pilot Skills with special effects, such as increasing Credits earned when defeating enemies.

Next, TomaP talked about how this is the first time Big O appears since SRW Z3 Tengoku-hen in 2015. He was surprised himself when he checked the date and saw it's been that long ago. Dorothy will join as an Assist Crew character. Roger will also have an unique Pilot Skill, but he didn't detail what it is. (It must be his Negotiator Pilot Skill. However, seeing he specifically brought this up, I assume it means the effects were changed from Z3, where it reduced the Morale of attacked enemy units and negated post-stage repair costs).

Next, TomaP explained this is the first time Fuuto Pi appears in SRW. The three playable units will be Kamen Rider W, Kamen Rider Accel, and Kamen Rider Skull. He also noted how seeing Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider Skull together should strike a chord, so fans of the series should look forward to the DLC's story and how this is possible.

It's the first time in 14 years Kotetsu Jeeg appears in a console SRW. TomaP said its additional parts appear in its battle animations, and his strongest attack will feature Jeeg Pantheroid.

This is the first time Getter Noir appears in a console SRW, after appearing in SRW Cross Omega and SRW DD. For this occasion, Dynamic Pro decided on a new subtitle: The Jet-Black Drifters. They also produced a unique theme song for it that you'll get to hear in the DLC. TomaP also revealed that Getter Noir will initially only have Ryoma as its pilot, however midway through the DLC's story, it will upgrade to Getter Noir G and get Hayato and Musashi as pilots.

This is the first time Da-Garn ever appears in Super Robot Wars. TomaP explained the playable unit will be Da-Garn X, who can transform into Great Da-Garn GX when it has enough Morale. The anime's protagonist Seiji will appear in some of the battle animations, and will join as an Assist Crew character.

Once he was done going over each series, TomaP shared some comments on the DLCs as a whole. He explained that the DLCs each have their own subtitle to stress out that they have their own story, and even their own unique bosses. He compared it to having two small SRW games within the game. Once the DLCs have been released, players who bought them can play them as soon as possible by selecting the DLC stages with the Tactical Select Mission system, or wait till clearing the main story.

Next, TomaP announced that "some of the DLCs series will not have BGMs". He asked for our understanding in this matter and said specific details would be announced via the official site after the stream.

The official's site Q&A was updated after the stream, and it turns out Braiger doesn't have a BGM. That's what producer Toma meant. (I wonder what happened, maybe licensing the OP or part of the OST is a lot of trouble and money, and Bamco deemed it wasn't worth it, since people can bring in their own BGMs on PC and PS5. It's not possible on Switch though.)

Last but not least, TomaP said the development for the DLCs is still ongoing, and the release date for DLC 1 will be announced soon. (You can already buy the DLCs set though, to get the SRW X and SRW T OG units).

That's all. Thanks for reading. Remember to share this article with your oomfies. But not before sharing fundraisings for Palestinians.

(You might have noticed this is a more "serious" post than usual. Don't worry Insha Allah I'm gonna publish a full summary of the stream soon with all the usual weirdness, Unneeded Opinions and analysis I can muster. This is basically a portfolio feeding post and in order to ride the hype of the game's release. Usually I would have just waited until I'm done with the full summary and just post that.)
