Cross Rays adopts the same basic system as other G Generation games, in which the player can freely develop/upgrade units and assign pilots to them.
The Famitsu article points out how G Generation games typically either focus on allowing the player to re-experience the source material, or focus on crossovers, and states that Cross Rays is the former.
SD Gundam G Generation: Cross Rays will be released in 2019 for the Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam).
