Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front is a video game based in the One Year War that was released in September 2001 for the PlayStation 2 home entertainment system. The game departs from the standard formula of Universal Century video games by featuring a campaign focused on the Principality of Zeon, rather than the Earth Federation, though the game does enable simulations where the characters can act as members of the Federation, as well as the ability to unlock Federation pilots as playable characters within the Zeon campaign. Even though original Japanese version features Japanese voiceover, most of the menu options and onscreen displays are in English. In addition to its two major gameplay modes, Zeonic Front features a cutscene viewer ("Movie" option, accessible from Main Menu), as is common in action games. Of the available movies is an extended clip featuring reanimated footage wherein the main character of the game narrates the major events of the One Year War, largely following the White Base, from the perspective of Maj. Garret Schmitzer, the commanding officer of the Zeon task force Midnight Fenrir Corps. The movie covers everything from the beginning of the war to the signing of the peace treaty that ended it in at least moderate detail.
