Bandai Namco released a short trailer that introduces the first female lead for a Gundam series.
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury is the first series from the Gundam franchise in seven years and the first ever to feature a female protagonist.
The trailer is very short, but it does feature a good look at the series lead and her Gundam Aerial:
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury follows Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, which ran for two-seasons from 2015-2016. It’s not been specified where this series will fall in relation to Iron-Blooded Orphans.
Before the anime launches in October 2022, a prologue titled Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Prologue will debut. This prologue will feature two new mobile suits named Lfrith and Beguir-Beu.
