A Look Mega Man X DIVE's Cut and Unused Content

The debut of Mega Man X DiVE Offline shed some light on content that the development team hadn't had the chance to implement initially: Eregion (Mega Man X4's Opening Stage boss), Violen (an X-Hunter from Mega Man X2), and the desire to include Prometheus (ZX) as a playable character.

And now, thanks to the recently-released Rockman X DiVE Illustration Collection book, we have even more details about content that didn't make the cut. 

Find all the details after the break!

First, thanks to Twitter user deko, we have a good look at Sigma (X3 1st Form) full body art which was never shown in the game. On the right, you can see an alternative pose of Sigma (X4 2nd form).

Next, we have an alternative pose for "Gangsta Boy Sigma" and DiVE Armor Sigma. According to some reports, he was initially planned as a boss but we can't confirm this with 100% confidence at this time. In any case, boss or not, he would've ended up being a playable character.

Alternative poses for Meg Man Volnutt, Roll Caskett, Tron Bonne and "White Tron".

Now, here's the biggest revelation the artbook has to offer: a scrapped crossover between X DiVE and the ill-fated mobile game Rockman Xover, a collab many fans were hoping for.

Further, thanks to Twitter user ウリポット, we know now that Nero L and Oro S were in the planning stages before the game ended service.

And finally, thanks to下駄, we can take a look at an alternative pose for iCO and a never before seen illustration of X holding the "Extraordinary Mortar". 

Beyond a 6-page interview with the development team, the book is largely focused on illustrations and an extensive gallery of unused poses. The book just came out today, so when new information surfaces that's worth a mention, we'll be sure to report it. For now, enjoy these neat revelations!
