Capcom Taiwan’s Game Development Department Reportedly Dissolving

While Capcom has yet to make an official announcement, growing evidence suggests that Capcom Taiwan’s internal game development division, the team behind Mega Man X DiVE, is being dissolved.

Several former Capcom Taiwan employees have taken to Threads in recent days to announce their departures from the studio. One longtime staff member wrote that after “nearly eleven years” with the company, many of their old colleagues “also graduated [left] last weekend.” Others thanked Capcom Taiwan for the experience and the opportunity to work on games they loved since childhood. Some of these posts included farewell gatherings and images showing the development office cleared out.

Sonia Voice Actor Wendee Lee Teases a Return to Mega Man Star Force

Wendee Lee, the English voice of Sonia Sky in the Mega Man Star Force anime, recently teased at a convention that she’s recorded something new for the series. While she couldn’t share too many details, her comments could suggest a return in Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection:

“There’s something in the works that I’m working on with Mega Man Star Force, but I don’t know if anything’s been announced. It’s not out yet, right?” she asked the audience.

“I don’t believe anything’s been announced,” someone replied.

“Right. So I gotta leave you a big ol’ okie doke,” Lee said. “I have to be very careful not to break my NDA, but ahem—it's musical. I’ll leave it at that.”

Considering Capcom’s plans to rearrange every track from all three Star Force games, Lee may have been tapped to finally record Sonia’s in-game songs, which were previously presented only as text. There’s also the chance she’ll restore Sonia's voice clips cut from the English version of Star Force 2, such as the title and congratulations screens present in the Japanese version.

Whatever the case, it’s encouraging to see Capcom once again reconnecting with veteran Mega Man voice actors after so many years. Hopefully, more of the original cast will return too.

Rockman EXE Sumi-e Style Goods Revealed

Shibuya Tsutaya, a branch of the Tsutaya bookstore chain, will host a limited-time pop-up shop for a new Rockman EXE merchandise line inspired by sumi-e (Japanese ink-wash painting) from December 2nd through January 29, 2026.

The lineup includes postcards, metal stickers, acrylic stands, badges, and T-shirts, among other items. Unfortunately, none of them feature new artwork.

In addition, other Rockman EXE goods using previously released key art will also be available. You can check them out here!

ThreeZero MDLX Mega Man X Rising Fire Version Announced

Following the release of the Metal Blade and Fire Storm variants from the Classic series, ThreeZero's Mega Man X line is now getting its first variant.

The Rising Fire variant is scheduled for release in Q1 2026, with preorders opening on Wednesday, November 5th, at the ThreeZero Store and select retailers outside Japan. The figure will be priced at 6,760 yen ($44 or 38€).

Jada Toys Mega Man May Be Going in a Different Direction After Wave 5

In a discussion with Toy Migos, Juhn Lim from Jada Toys revealed that once Wave 5 reaches retail, the classic series Mega Man toyline will go on a pause while the team evaluates its future direction.

"Realistically, if we do continue [Mega Man] it will probably be saved for a San Diego [Comic-Con] reveal maybe. The direction we go doesn't necessarily have to go the way it's been going," said Juhn. "I feel like there are so many different options to go, roads to go down. I think trying to veer away from what we're doing and other options might be a fun way to take the line."

He continued, “I’m not really interested in revisiting iterations and versions that have already been developed. There are several companies doing, for example, Mega Man X. So realistically, I don’t have an interest in doing X. I can say that for sure.”

It’s a fair point. With Kotobukiya, ThreeZero, and Hiya Toys all tackling the X series, it makes sense for Jada to avoid an oversaturated corner of the market. There’s still a wealth of untapped Mega Man characters out there, so the line’s future could go in almost any direction. We may find out what's next sometime closer to SDCC 2026.

Storyboards From Secret Level Mega Man Episode Show What Happens Next

Mega Man: Start, the Secret Level episode inspired by the classic series, runs just over five minutes, making it the shortest entry in the Prime Video anthology. Previous concept art and materials have already hinted that it was meant to be longer. Now, adding to that evidence, newly discovered material reveals a cut sequence set after the episode’s ending, showing Mega Man's struggle to protect the city from a rampaging Robot Master.

Mega Man 2 3D Classics E3 2010 Tech Demo Preserved

At E3 2010, Nintendo unveiled the Nintendo 3DS, offering attendees their first chance to experience the handheld in action. The show floor featured a selection of interactive tech demos built to demonstrate the system’s glasses-free stereoscopic 3D capabilities. Among these was the Arika-developed Classic Games, a proof-of-concept auto-demo that reimagined several NES titles—Mega Man 2 included—with stereoscopic 3D display.

While only a few of the titles featured in Classic Games were eventually released as part of the 3D Classics line on the eShop, Mega Man 2 was not among them. However, thanks to the preservation work of the 3DS Challenge Team and video documentation by James-Money, the Mega Man 2 tech demo, alongside several other E3 2010 software, has been recovered and can now be launched on actual hardware. While Mega Man 2 is not playable, it offers a glimpse of what a 3D Classics version might have been. 

You can find and download the files from the Internet Archive. To play these demos on a real 3DS, you’ll need an EmuNAND setup and a few other essential files to get things running smoothly. All of that is covered here!

Mega Man X Issue #0 Covers and Solicitation (January 2026)

Lunar Distribution has revealed our first detailed look at Udon Entertainment’s new on-going Mega Man X comic series, complete with four variant covers. They’ve also shared the official solicitation:

The X-generation of Mega Man gets its own comics series! In this special prelude issue, the reploid hero known as X travels the highways of the future on his first solo mission, hunting a reploid who has gone rogue... a Maverick! Strap on your X-buster for more robotic action than ever! (W) Daniel Arseneault (A/CA) Jeffrey Cruz

The on-going series will be written by Daniel Arseneault with art by Jeffrey Cruz. Cover A is illustrated by Cruz, Cover B is Edwin Huang, Cover C is Hanzo Steinbach, and Cover D is Royce Southerland.

Mega Man X #0 is currently slated to arrive in-stores on January 14th, 2026.

Mega Man Adventures Vol.1 Deluxe Hardcover Announced

Udon Entertainment has opened a sign-up page for a deluxe hardcover edition of Mega Man Adventures Volume 1: A Hero is Built, which will be distributed exclusively through Zoop. While Zoop typically serves as a crowdfunding platform for comic creators, Udon tells me they’re simply testing it out — both the deluxe and standard edition will be released regardless of the campaign’s results. The campaign goes live on November 18th.

To set itself apart from the standard edition, the deluxe hardcover will feature a foil cover, nine trading cards with character bios by Ian Flynn, and a folded poster. Like the standard edition, it includes Archie Comics' Mega Man issues #1–12 with all variant covers, plus an all-new 7-page short story by Ian Flynn and Ryan Jampole.

New Images of Hiya Toys X, Releases in Q4 2026

Hiya Toys has confirmed that the debut figure in their new Mega Man X line, the Exquisite Basic Series X, is set to release in Q4 2026. That’s still a ways off, but in the meantime they’ve shared several new images of the figure in action along with some intriguing details. Magnetic feet, anyone?

Mega Man Timelines Hardcover Arrives July 2026

Amazon, Simon & Schuster, and Barnes & Noble have opened product pages for Mega Man Timelines Volume 1, which appears to collect all five Mega Man Timelines stories in a hardcover format. It’s currently scheduled to release on July 21, 2026, for $39.99. No cover art is available at this time.

Unlike the Archie Comics hardcover collection we covered yesterday, this book hasn’t been officially announced by Udon, so details could still change. It’s not up for preorder yet, but you can add it to your wishlist for now.

More updates as they come!

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Wishlisting Available on PlayStation, Xbox and PC

While a firm release date hasn’t been announced yet, Capcom seems to be taking steps toward that reveal, as Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is now available to wishlist across the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, and Steam. Each listing includes a fresh set of screenshots, with one in particular being a direct-feed image of the 3D Star Force Mega Man who appears on the game’s main menu. We also have our first look at Star Force 3's Custom Screen, which has been updated with HD assets.

A Nintendo eShop page isn’t live yet, though it may go up later this week, as the eShop typically updates on Thursdays. We'll keep you posted.

Thanks for the tip, M!

Archie Comics Mega Man Adventures Volume 1 Coming in May 2026

Back in April, Udon Entertainment announced plans to reprint Archie Comics’ Mega Man series in oversized hardcovers. While pre-orders aren’t open yet, Amazon has opened up a page for the first volume, Mega Man Adventures: A Hero is Built, and confirms it will include a brand-new bonus short story by Ian Flynn and Ryan Jampole.

Here's the solicitation:

The Blue Bomber’s classic comic book adventures, collected for the first time in a luxurious hardcover tome! Dr. Light wanted to build a better tomorrow with his new Robot Masters, but the evil Dr. Wily reprogrammed them to take over the world! Now it's up to one little robot to save us all -- Mega Man! Don't miss the first heroic adventures of Rock, a simple helper robot who takes up the fight for the greater good! This volume contains Rock's transformation into Mega Man, his first battles with the Robot Masters, and his titanic clash with Dr. Wily! Include an all-new 7-page bonus story by Ian Flynn and Ryan Jampole!

Volume 1 clocks in at 296 pages and is currently set to release on May 26, 2026. That date hasn’t been officially confirmed by Udon yet, so it could still change.

Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Legends Timelines Delayed to November 5th (Update)

UPDATE (11/5): Per Lunar Distribution, both books have been further delayed to November 19th.

Mega Man ZX Timelines was originally scheduled for release this week, with Mega Man Legends Timelines set to follow shortly after. However, according to Lunar Distribution, Udon Entertainment’s primary distributor, both issues have experienced a last-minute delay and are now slated for release on Wednesday, November 5th. While the delay isn’t major, the silver lining is that fans should be able to pick up both issues on the same day.

For completion's sake, here are the official solicitations:

Mega Man ZX - Centuries in the future, a battle is fought over control of the Biometals – living artifacts that contain powerful weapon data! One person stands in the way of the destructive Pseudoroids and their hidden master using this power for evil – Vent, a Mega Man with the combined powers of Biometal Z and Biometal X!

Mega Man Legends - Far in the future, the Digger known as MegaMan Volnutt has discovered a valuable artifact from the distant past. Could it be the secret to unlocking a long-forgotten technology? The thieving Tron Bonne just wants to know… how much is it worth!? It’s an all-new adventure in the Halcyon Days!

Kotobukiya Says the Unknown Mega Man Kit is Still in Development

At the 2025 All Japan Model and Hobby Show, reputable model kit enthusiast x_ledur met Shohei Chiba, the lead planner behind Kotobukiya’s Mega Man kits. Though busy, Chiba took a moment to chat and confirmed that the mysterious kit teased on January 31, 2024, is “still alive.” This is the first official mention of the project since its reveal.

The silhouette has sparked plenty of debate among fans. While guesses range from Copy X to Command Mission X or even something from X DiVE, none seem to fit the shape exactly. I’ve also confirmed that Kotobukiya’s license to produce Mega Man model kits, originally granted in 2010, only covers characters that appear in the official games. This means that, unless the terms have changed, the new kit can’t be an original Kotobukiya creation—it has to be based on an existing in-game character.

All we can continue to do now is wait for Kotobukiya or Capcom to finally pull back the curtain.

MDLX Cut Man, Zero Colored Prototype Shown at All Japan Model & Hobby Show

Threezero’s MDLX Mega Man line continues to expand with the reveal of its latest addition at the 2025 All Japan Model and Hobby Show: Cut Man. Marking the company’s first Robot Master in the series, the figure is still in the prototype stage but already looks sharp. A release date has yet to be announced.

Also making a return appearance is MDLX Zero, previously shown in May. Now fully painted, the figure showcases a more polished and complete look. As with Cut Man, no release or availability details have been shared.

Kotobukiya Iris Announced (Release Date TBD)

At long, long last, Iris is stepping into the spotlight! Kotobukiya has officially announced that the iconic Mega Man X4 Reploid is getting her very own 1/12-scale model kit. Pricing and release date are still under wraps, but fans can rest easy knowing she’ll pair seamlessly with Kotobukiya’s previously-released Zero kits. A match made in heaven!

Based on the images released, Iris will include at least three interchangeable face plates, a set of hand parts, and articulated hair. Additional accessories have yet to be revealed.

More details sooner than later, I hope!

Review: Threezero MDLX Mega Man X

Threezero's Mega Man line has finally branched outside of the Classic series with their latest release: Mega Man X. Can X go above and beyond his brother before him? Join me after the break where we'll go over everything this figure has to offer!

Grandista Mega Man Metallic Version Due in 2026

UPDATE: Now available to preorder from Big Bad Toystore; ships April 2026.

Bandai’s popular Grandista Mega Man figure appears to be getting a new coat of paint. A low res image of a metallic variant has surfaced on Weibo, My Figure Collection, and various figure pages in the last few hours. While this seems to be an early leak ahead of an official announcement from Bandai, initial details suggest the figure is slated for release in March 2026.

The original Grandista figure debuted in Japan in 2020 as a redemption prize before later seeing individual releases in North America and overseas. While it’s still available from select retailers, new stock appears to have dried up some time ago, making this new version seem poised to take its place.

More Images of Hiya Toys X, Falcon Armor X and Zero

New York Comic Con has kicked off, giving us a clearer look at three of Hiya Toys’ upcoming Mega Man X figures: X, Falcon Armor X, and Zero. Though still in the prototype stage, we now have a better sense of each character’s finer details and included accessories.

Hiya Toys Falcon Armor X Revealed (Updated)

Not the clearest photo, but it’s all we’ve got for now. UPDATE: Better image added! Spotted by Toys Lab at Wonderfest Shanghai 2025, Hiya Toys has a new Falcon Armor X figure on display. Like X, Zero, and Sigma, it’s 1/12 scale and features the same articulation range.

That’s all the info for now—we’ll share more details as soon as they surface!

Hiya Toys 1/12 Scale X Color Prototype

Via the Mega Man and Rockman Toys & Collectibles Facebook page, we have a brand-new look at Hiya Toys' 1/12 X figure. Currently on display at Wonderfest Shanghai, this is our first look at the figure in color following its appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con.

No further details were shared at the show beyond what’s already known: it’s part of the "Exquisite Basic" line, which means a solid range of articulation and a selection of accessories. Confirmed inclusions are multiple hand options, face plates, and X-Buster effect parts.

For more images of X—as well as Zero and Sigma—check out our earlier coverage here.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Wins Future Division Award at TGS 2025

The Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA) announced the winners of the 2025 Japan Game Award Future Division during this year’s Tokyo Game Show. A total of eleven upcoming games were recognized as highly anticipated software, chosen through public voting and further evaluated by the Japan Game Awards Selection Committee. Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection was among the recipients, with producer Shino Izumi and Rockman Unity’s Ucchy-san appearing on stage to accept the award.

This marks the fifth time a Mega Man title has earned the honor, following Battle Network 3 in 2002, Battle Network 5 in 2004, Mega Man 11 in 2018, and Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection in 2022. 

Each of those titles went on to achieve commercial success in Japan and overseas, making the Future Division Award something of an indicator of strong sales. Here's hoping Star Force Legacy Collection will carry the momentum forward.

You can watch this year’s awards ceremony via the archived stream here!

Details from Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection TGS Stage (Director Koji Oda Returns!)

As anticipated, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection producer Shingo Izumi joined Rockman Unity’s Ucchy-san on stage at Tokyo Game Show to present direct-feed gameplay and share a few new, notable details...

16 Minutes of Off-Screen Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Gameplay

Word has it that Capcom is keeping a tight lid on filming the Star Force Legacy Collection demo at Tokyo Game Show—you need explicit permission to record. Still, YouTube user east9698 was able to capture about 16 minutes of gameplay from Star Force 1 (Dragon).

Some observations:

• Fuyuka Oura voices Geo/Subaru, and Kentaro Ito voices Omega-Xis/War-Rock. It’s unclear whether this is new audio or remastered.

• The title screen animation isn’t just an upscale of the DS version—it’s been fully remade.

• Renaming Geo is no longer possible, likely to maintain consistency across all three games.

• When navigating in-game menus, interactions between the bottom and top screens are automatic; you don’t need to manually switch between them.

• The vertical screen display option (tate mode) is clearly designed to replicate the original Nintendo DS presentation.

• Free Camera can be used at any time, which is especially useful when exploring Wave Roads.

• As previously confirmed, Geo’s default movement speed can be adjusted, and you can really see it in action here!

As for when we might see direct feed footage, it’s anyone’s guess. Capcom has been slowly releasing screenshots over the past few days, and a panel with the game’s producer is scheduled for this Sunday. So sometime between now and then seems likely.

Capcom Uploads Full Mega Man: Start Episode to YouTube

In case you haven't seen it before, Capcom has made the full Secret Level episode Mega Man: Start available on YouTube for free—no Amazon Prime account required. The release coincides with the grand reopening of Capcom Town, where the episode is "playing" at the Capcom Theater.

Mega Man: Start runs about seven minutes, roughly five without the opening and closing credits. It follows Rock’s transformation into Mega Man as Dr. Wily rises to power and larger-than-life Robot Masters wreak havoc across "Mega City". While most Secret Level episodes received mixed reviews, Mega Man: Start is one of the few that drew praise... but it's incredibly short. 

There's no telling how long Mega Man: Start will stick around on YouTube, so you might as well check it out. It'll be over before you know it.

Mega Man, Proto Man & Rush Roadster Celebrate the Launch of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

To celebrate the launch of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Sega artist Akira Mikame created this charming countdown illustration featuring the two blue icons, Mega Man and Sonic, with Tails admiring the Rush Roadster and Proto Man watching from a distance.

And that’s not all—Mega Man and Proto Man have also been added to the game’s key visual, with Mega Man behind the wheel of the Rush Roadster and Proto Man riding an Extreme Gear. It’s a little strange seeing the Red Striker absent from the lineup, but the red rocker looks fantastic here, so no complaints.

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is out now, with the Mega Man and Proto Man DLC pack set to arrive in 2026. More updates to come!

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Demo Details - 3D Mega Man, Vertical Display, More

The 2025 Tokyo Game Show is officially underway, and attendees are getting their first hands-on experience with the playable demo of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. While only Star Force 1 is available on the show floor, there's plenty to glean from the collection overall, with the biggest highlight being a 3D model of Shooting Star Mega Man serving as the collection’s navigator.

Mega Man and Proto Man Confirmed for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Coming in 2026

 

 

Sega has confirmed that Mega Man and Proto Man will be coming to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as playable characters in a DLC pack launching next year.

The pack includes the two Light brothers, the Rush Roadster from Mega Man: Battle & Chase, and a new Wily castle-themed course which, you guessed it, is based on Mega Man 2.

Check out the above trailer to see it all in action!

Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Legends Timelines Get Back-to-Back Late October Release

Mega Man ZX Timelines and Mega Man Legends Timelines are on the way to comic shops at last. After a brief delay, Lunar Distribution - Udon Entertainment's primary distributor - has scheduled ZX Timelines for October 22 and Legends Timelines for October 29. These dates now appear to be final and should also signal when pre-ordered copies will begin arriving in mailboxes.

If you're just catching up, here are the solicitations:

Mega Man ZX - Centuries in the future, a battle is fought over control of the Biometals – living artifacts that contain powerful weapon data! One person stands in the way of the destructive Pseudoroids and their hidden master using this power for evil – Vent, a Mega Man with the combined powers of Biometal Z and Biometal X!

Shingo Izumi Named as Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Producer

Shingo Izumi joined Capcom in 2018 and first appeared on the Mega Man front in the Secret Level episode Mega Man: Start, credited as one of two new development team members. Today, Rockman Unity confirmed Izumi as the producer of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. He’ll also appear at the game’s special stage at Tokyo Game Show on Sunday, September 28, at 10:00 JST, alongside Rockman Unity’s Ucchy-san and comedian Go☆Jas.

The question now is whether Izumi has become the new front man for the Mega Man IP, stepping in after Kazuhiro Tsuchiya’s departure from Capcom in 2023. This news doesn’t confirm it outright, but his growing involvement with the series—from Secret Level to Star Force Legacy Collection—does point in that direction. 

Maybe we’ll hear more next Sunday. Or not. Either way, fresh updates on the collection are coming soon.

Mega Man Coming to Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as DLC

Early copies of Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds are surfacing as some retailers appear to be breaking the street date ahead of its official September 25th release. Inside the case, a postcard reportedly reveals the final paid DLC pack: Mega Man. Judging by the logo, it appears to be none other than the classic series Blue Bomber.

Fans have been hoping Mega Man would make the cut ever since CrossWorlds was first announced, especially after years of official but non-game crossovers with Sonic the Hedgehog—the most notable being the Archie Comics Worlds Collide saga. If this insert is genuine, CrossWorlds would mark the first time Mega Man and Sonic appear together in a major Sonic title.

Stay tuned for updates!

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Screenshots, Art

Captured from the extended Japanese trailer, I've compiled a batch of screenshots from Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection and high-resolution art assets provided by Capcom. 

The footage covered a few features not confirmed in Capcom's initial press release, including multiple screen orientation options, upscaled 3D models, the return of Battle Network Legacy Collection's "smooth" filter, a music player, and more.

Review: Kotobukiya Axl White Version

The Mega Man X series is famous for many things, but one of the most distinctive elements is the variety of Armors worn by its characters. X is the face of this tradition, though Zero, Vile, and Sigma have each sported multiple designs over the years. Then there’s the most enigmatic member of the cast: Axl. In Mega Man X8, Axl received a mysterious upgrade known only as “???”—better remembered by fans as White Axl. For over two decades, this design has gone without a proper figure, until now. To my surprise, Kotobukiya has finally answered the call. We know their track record speaks for itself, but just how impressive is this release? Let’s take a closer look!

Kotobukiya Announces "Zero 1st Ver." Model Kit (Update)

After Monday’s tease, Kotobukiya officially announced a new Zero model kit today. As expected, it’s the first version of Zero from the original Mega Man X game.

Kotobukiya Hints at New Mega Man X Series Kit With “Iron Pipe” Tease

Kotobukiya Japan dropped a cheeky tease on Twitter, posting a picture of an iron pipe accessory alongside the caption: “New info from the Rockman X plastic model series! At long last, a new product… the ‘Iron Pipe’ is getting a release!? It’s just an iron pipe, but as a plastic model… what could this mean!? Details will be revealed on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, so please look forward to it!”

So, why an iron pipe? Fans will recall that Zero wielded one during his very first encounter with Sigma in the events leading up to Mega Man X1. That makes this tease easy to read as either a nod to a potential pre-X1 Zero kit (with the pipe as an accessory) or as an add-on for the already-announced Sigma kit. But given that the tweet carefully described it as a new product the wording feels very deliberate. 

Either way, the mystery won’t last long; we’ll know for sure in just a few days.

Review: Kotobukiya Mega Man 11 Scramble Thunder & Pile Drive

After a short delay, Kotobukiya has finally released the latest kits in their Mega Man Classic line. This time, we got two Special Weapon based kits from Mega Man 11: Scramble Thunder and Pile Drive. Are they worth the wait, and do they stay true to the source material? After the break, I’ll cover everything you need to know!

Mega Man Legends PC Port Gets Unofficial Repack, Playable on Modern Hardware

Where Capcom slacks, fans are more than happy to pick up the slack. That old adage rings true today with news that the 2001 PC port of Mega Man Legends has been repackaged and fixed to run on modern machines thanks to KuroRaiden. 

With the help of DxWrapper, he’s created a build that works on Windows 10 and 11 while also resolving long-standing compatibility issues. The update eliminates forced auto-fullscreen and, by including the “Unfinished Business” patch, replaces the port’s low-quality audio files with high-quality WAVs sourced from the original PlayStation release. The repack also adds Xinput-to-Dinput support.

As for Steam Deck compatibility, KuroRaiden notes that it’s doable, though it may require tinkering with GE-Proton and other Wine layers. 

Until an official re-release surfaces on something like GOG, this is a nice hassle-free option. Download it here!

Fan-Mod Restores Street Fighter V Content to Mega Man X DiVE Offline

When Mega Man X DiVE Offline launched in 2023, it stripped away crossover content from the original online version. One of the biggest omissions was the Street Fighter V collaboration, which introduced Ryu, Chun-Li, and Akuma as playable characters along with 18 themed cards tied to the event.

Thanks to the Derivative Works team, a new mod brings the Street Fighter V collaboration back to the Steam version of Mega Man X DiVE Offline. It’s available on Nexusmods, complete with setup instructions. After installation, players can visit the Collab Character Store to obtain Memory Fragments for Ryu, Chun-Li, and Akuma to unlock the fighters.

If you run into any issues or just want to check out Derivative Works' other X DiVE mods, hit them up on Discord!

Check Out the Mini Figures From Jasco's Unreleased Mega Man-All Stars Board Game

Four years ago, Jasco Games announced a follow-up to their Mega Man: The Board Game, titled Mega Man All-Stars. Drawing inspiration from Mega Man Megamix, the game centered on defending Dr. Light’s lab from waves of Robot Masters and Star Droids while building powerful Special Weapons to take the fight to Dr. Wily.

Although the Kickstarter campaign was successful and the project cleared all of Capcom’s certifications and approvals, the game never saw a public release. Whether it’s been canceled or simply delayed is still unclear. In the meantime, project artist Hector Moran recently shared renders and images of many of the planned mini figures. Check 'em out below!
