It’s been a very long time since Bandai Japan first spoke on a potential CSM Genesis Driver, the belt used by a number of characters in the Kamen Rider Gaim series.  And after a couple of years, Bandai Japan is finally ready to showcase and open pre-orders.  Today, they did a Kamen Rider Gaim CSM Genesis Driver announcement, revealing three different item releases.

  • CSM Genesis Driver
  • CSM Genesis Driver Buckle Edition
  • CSM Energy Lock Seed Set

More details will be released on October 6th (October 5th in the US).  The previous CSM Kamen Rider Gaim items were released in the United States but we don’t have any information from Team Kamen Rider on whether or not this item will also see release in the United States.

Stay tuned for more info!

Some new images have surfaced online apparently from the upcoming Kamen Rider series Kamen Rider Gotchard.

*The new Driver (referred to for now as the Gotchard Driver, official name to be confirmed) matching the initial images of Kamen Rider Gotchard. This Driver supposedly functions as a card-reader for the various cards that will unlock Gotchards’ powers.

*A new Raise Buckle design for the currently available Desire Driver is on display. Could this be suggesting a crossover between Riders? Only time will tell!
