Classic Mega Man, Roll, Proto Man, Zero, Leviathan Confirmed for Rockman X DiVE


The Rockman X DiVE development team have confirmed that the first five non-X series characters appearing in the game will be classic Mega Man, Roll, Proto Man, Zero series Zero and Leviathan.

While this is sort of being played up as an April Fools' Day joke, I can tell you with absolute certainty it isn't. Not only were these characters referenced in very early datamine finds, but this gives credence to my initial X DiVE report: characters from *different* series will be playable at some point.

Although the development team did not say when these characters will be made available, they did announce a limited time gift:

"Furthermore, to celebrate this exciting news,
the team will send "Special Gift Box x (4+1)" from 2020/4/1 00:00 ~ 2020/4/1 23:59 (UTC+8)
Players who have not logged in during this period will miss this prize XDD
"

That's all for now! Stay tuned!

  2. At this point I wonder why they called it "X DiVE", when it's clearly the spiritual successor to Rockman Online.

    1. It's just that the X serie still clearly get the most focus (for now, at least). Heck, NOT calling it X would have probably led to people complaining about it being X biased.

  3. It's great to see the Zero series get a bigger presence outside of its own series.
    I'm hoping to see Copy-X, Harpuia and Omega in the possible future.

  4. I guess the joke is that you can miss out on these guys if you waited for a fully Western release? /s

    Still, glad to see most of the franchise getting even more (exclusive) love!

    1. It's Rockman, though. So i'm confident that we won't see anything *too* inapropriate.

  9. "Roll"
    Time to get a new mobile device

    (Some of this really does make sense, though, considering the Non-X stages that were in the open beta version.)

    1. You can always try playing it on PC. Though I'd still wait for the appropriate region launch.

    1. They want you to think it's a joke but it really isn't. Data exists for most of the characters already in the code/servers.

    2. Seems like the "anouncing something plausible but slightly surprising on April 1st so that people assume it is a joke, only for it to turns out not being a joke later" trick. The only question is how muche of what they say is a joke.

  11. Is it not out yet for the states? I cant find it on the app store.

  12. Fantastic selection of characters I need to start saving up for.

    I wonder if the game will be able to add someone like, Zero-era Original X...

  13. I'm excited to see Mizuno's full art of those characters, specially Leviathan, that aside, having our boy Rock finally confirmed is pretty nice.

    It looks like we're getting MM8 Roll, I hope that we could eventually get MM11 Rock.

  14. Man, this game is a joke

  15. Really wish this game worked with my PS4 controller, but thankfully I can just use an android emulator and have it setup with some third party software to think I'm using an Xbox controller to play. The game is way harder playing it as "intended" with touch screen controls, and honestly a controller really does feel like a must.

  16. that's exactly the 5 first non X-serie character i expected to see (and the ones i wanted to see, too).

    ReplyDelete
  17. That's great news! now all i need is the confirmations of the other MM protagonists.
    Also, a appearance of Prairie in any capacity would make my hapiness.
