Super Robot Wars Y continues to grow as one of the standout strategy RPGs where giant mechs from different anime collide in epic battles. The Expansion Pass coming in April 2026 is a big deal for fans eager to see fresh storylines and new units join the fray, expanding the game's crossover appeal in exciting directions.
The core charm of Super Robot Wars revolves around its unique crossover premise. It blends characters and robots from multiple anime series into a single, cohesive world where familiar stories are retold with alternate twists. This creative shuffle keeps battles feeling fresh and unpredictable.
While Super Robot Wars Y has already introduced several DLC packs featuring series like "W," the latest Expansion Pass announcement pushes the boundaries further. Bandai Namco is surprising fans by adding seven additional anime series, some beloved classics and others new entries to the lineup.
Here are the anime series confirmed for the upcoming Expansion Pass DLC:

The inclusion of series like Space Runaway Ideon and Eureka Seven has stirred excitement, as these haven’t appeared in mainline Super Robot Wars entries for a long time. Meanwhile, stalwarts like Cross Ange and the Gundam spin-off continue to enrich the series’ legacy.
One of the surprise highlights is Idolm@ster Xenoglossia. Although it’s a Bandai Namco-owned franchise, this marks its debut in a mainline Super Robot Wars game, having only appeared previously in the mobile gacha game Super Robot Wars X-O.
