As previously reported, X is coming to Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat as a playable Hunter. With the collaboration seemingly set to launch tomorrow, August 6, NebulaJoy has dropped the teaser trailer above, showing X tearing through enemies to the tune of “Devil Trigger.”
To recap, the collaboration brings alternate looks for X, including his classic blue appearance, the “Tribute to the Fallen” skin unlocked through Hunter progression, and the event-based “SE DIVE VER.” skin. He’ll also wield a new weapon, the Sniper Buster.
Elsewhere, players can collect five Mega Man X-themed Runes and take part in a new event called “DiVE Deep,” featuring three story chapters and a showdown with Sigma. A new Boss Hunt opponent and additional limited-time event content are also part of the collaboration.
I really wanna see X playable as a secret character in the next main DMC game as like a fun mode
ReplyDeleteWell this looks cool. Wish it had been a dlc for DMCV instead. But! I'll try to unlock this anyways when it drops.
ReplyDeleteThe two things aren't mutually exclusive, there's no reason why X can't be in this and also DLC for a DMC game. DMC5 is getting old enough that I'd be surprised if it got new DLC, but if they announce DMC6 it wouldn't be shocking to me if X was added as DLC at some point.
DeleteThat being said, I feel like Zero would be a better fit. X is a heavily range focused character, Zero makes heavy use of his saber for melee attacks but also has access to his buster and several other ranged special moves. DMC thrives on melee combat, so Zero seems like the natural choice. In a mainline game I'd worry about X potentially leaning too heavily into DMC2 style projectile spam as the go-to strategy that works best. His kit is more suited for something like a Metroid style FPS or an alternate take on a Mega Man Legends style TPS. There's even potential in X7 style gameplay, though it would need heavy reworking and refinement.
he looks sick, but he's X so he always looks sick. mobile games aren't my thing so im not gonna play, but still cool!
ReplyDeleteOf course they used Devil Trigger. Not that I'm complaining. Lol
