World 7 Added to Rockman Xover (Update)


Rockman Xover received an update today, ushering in the all new World 7. This time around the bosses are from Mega Man X8. We have Optic Sunflower, Avalanche Yeti, Burn Rooster, and Bamboo Pandemonium. Take down those four and you'll face Sigma. Lumine's a no-show, unfortunately.

In related news, the armor you get from this update is a very green Over-8. It's a dual wood/wind type, strong against electric type bosses. You can see it along with more images after the break.

UPDATE: Additional details courtesy of The Mega Man Network...

"Last, Xover also brings the “Irregular Burst” system. Normally, Battle Memory cards have a limit to how much you can level them up and improve their stats. However, by combining identical cards, you can surpass the normal leveling limits and make them even stronger. In honor of this addition, players currently have a chance to receive “Golden Wily” and “Silver Wily” Battle Memory cards when they log in."

Hankering for even more images? Rockman Unity's got you covered.

  1. Wow the proportions on Sigma are all fudged up he should be much taller than that.

    Also more X series stuff when there still isn't a world for ZX or Legends.

  2. Say, is there a website/gallery that has pictures of the armors in the games? I kind of want to do some sketching based on those armor. Maybe Axl or Zero donning one of those armor.

  3. Are you serious? Here I was holding out for a Legends world, finally... I actually play this game regularly, unlike most people who talk about it, and this is pretty much the final straw (along with the new upgrading mechanic). I'm stopping now.

  4. First thought: Man, that's some snazzy-looking new armour Luka's got (STILL not calling him Over-1).

    Second thought: In my sorta-half-asleep state, I wouldn't have noticed sooner that we got a second X world unless I read Anon 1's comment. :/

  5. "Lumine's a no-show, unfortunately."

    That qualifies as "unfortunately"?

  10. Proportions don't exist in this game. Ice Man is taller than X8 Sigma!

  11. @Zan: Perhaps. The game flat out calls him True Sigma.

    Technically speaking this is the third X series world since the X1 Mavericks are split to make two.

  15. It's actually just シグマ, as in Sigma.

  16. Green Armor reminds me of Commander Yammark (X6).

    Kind of disappointed that they didn't just wait one more world to make World EIGHT line up with X8.

  18. No Lumine? Silly Protodude, it's going to be like the first 2 X worlds... The other 4 Mavericks will pop up with Lumine heading them up.
