Fan Project Turns Mega Man Battle Network 6 Into an Endless Roguelike

If you're like me, Battle Network 6 is your favorite game in the series. You know it like the back of your hand. But what if you could take everything you love about it and make it fresh and even unpredictable again?

That's the idea behind Mega Man Battle Network: Cyberworld Endless*. Created by saschb2b, the project gives Battle Network 6 a roguelike twist, generating new Cyberworld layouts with each run. You'll work through increasingly difficult areas, unlock new starting options between runs and see just how far you can push the game's Endless mode. Progress carries over, too, with additional folders, Crosses and other options unlocking over time.

Cyberworld Endless is available on PC, Steam Deck, Android, New Nintendo 3DS and even in your browser. All you need is to supply your own U.S. copy of Cybeast Gregar. You know, one of those ROM things.

*Disclaimer: Portions of this project were developed with the assistance of generative AI tools.

Campfire’s Japanese goods shop Yuruwa has announced a pair of Edo Kiriko glasses based on Rockman.EXE and Blues.EXE to commemorate the series' 25th anniversary. Each glass is limited to 150 pieces and comes packaged in a special paulownia wood box.

The Rockman glass comes in lapis blue, with digital block-style detailing, Rockman’s silhouette, and his Navi mark on the bottom. The Blues version comes in deep red, with Blues’ silhouette, his Navi mark, and traditional cuts meant to evoke the sharp slashes of his sword.

Both glasses are priced at 59,400 yen each, including tax. Pre-orders opened on May 28th at 6:00 PM JST and run through June 28th at 11:59 PM JST, with shipping planned for mid-to-late December 2026.

Ordering from outside Japan may not be easy, if it’s possible at all. Still, for diehard EXE collectors, this is one to keep an eye on, especially with only 150 of each design being made.

Rockman EXE and Quiz RPG Collaboration Announced

With Shooting Star Rockman back in the spotlight, it’s a little surprising to see Capcom give Rockman EXE the collaboration treatment right now. But here we are.

Japanese mobile card-battling game Quiz RPG: The World of Mystic Wiz and The Black Cat has announced a new Rockman EXE collaboration event with Capcom. The event will feature a themed quest called "Rockman EXE Operation Genma Special Zone," along with EXE-themed gacha and a Quiz Rush mode based on the series.

The collaboration is set to begin on May 29th, 2026.

Unfortunately, Quiz RPG: The World of Mystic Wiz and The Black is not available in English, so fans overseas will have to enjoy this one from afar. For now, you can check out the event's main key art and screenshot above.

Also going live today is Jeffrey “Chamba” Cruz’s Udon Store Exclusive cover for Mega Man Showdown Special #1, the previously Free Comic Book Day-exclusive issue. Chamba’s artwork puts the Battle Network cast front and center, spotlighting the brand-new original short story featured in the issue.

You Can Now Play Rockman EXE: Battle Chip Stadium at Home via Emulation

Three years ago, GoodTofuFriday and the BCS preservation team set out to extract Rockman EXE: Battle Chip Stadium from its native, aging arcade hardware. While the game was successfully and safely ripped, it wasn’t in a playable state. 

But today, I’m pleased to report that the game is not only fully playable on an emulator, but available to download right now!

First Look at Mega Man Showdown Special #1 + Battle Network Bonus Story

Udon Entertainment is celebrating Free Comic Book Day 2026 with an exclusive Mega Man comic that offers something a little different. Mega Man Showdown Special #1 — a one-off issue completely separate from Mega Man Timelines — pits Proto Man and Bass in a one-on-one brawl.

But that’s not all! The book also includes a Mega Man Battle Network bonus short story, which at long last confirms Udon is now able to produce original Battle Network works, something that’s been difficult in the past due to licensing complications between Capcom and Shogakukan.

Mega Man Showdown Special #1 is written by Daniel Arseneault with art by Mic Fong. You can find the book on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at participating comic shops and local libraries.
