So far as I know, there is  no new Gundam game on the horizon, or recently (last couple months), so I suppose if they break that theory, they could have one soon. Also, unlike many, if not all, of thier collabs thus far, they own the rights of the original property. Gundam was an anime before a game, so they'd have to pay for the rights to use it to Sunrise, I believe. Super Sentai wouuld likely run into similar issues, and similar I believe to the reason Naruto and DBZ haven't had collabs - the cost for the rights to use theose properties for ACI would probably be too much. Not saying it won't happen, just that it will not be a surprise if it doesn't.

I too would love a Gundam collab, something Idolmaster level in terms of number of emblems and nicknames. Don't know who owns the rights to the games, but the Muv-Luv series would be really interesting (google it if you don't know the series). A DBZ and Naruto one too would be nice, thoguh I'm not saying at the same level. I'd toss One Piece in there too.

Dark Souls could work, and I think they've done Star Trek games, so that also has some possibility.

The Gundam collab wouldn't necessarily need to be restricted to just the games. Sunrise is still releasing new Gundam series on a fairly regular basis; but yes, it's true that Namco/Bandai would need to get permission to do a Gundam collaboration event in Ace Combat Infinity. However, given the fact that Namco/Bandai has been responsible for publishing/releasing so many other Gundam games, I don't really see that being too much of a problem.
