Specifically, it looks like each Gundam will have two unique abilities, as well as a charging ultimate.Then here’s the fact that the trailer for Gundam Evolution showed off what seems to be a game mode that seems exactly like Overwatch’s Control mode (or king-of-the-hill in TF2).

Currently, the game has only been announced in Japan, so there’s no word yet on a worldwide release. Given that it is a free-to-play title, we’re hoping that the game gets a wider release, similar to Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation.
