LEGO Mega Man, X and Zero Revealed for Fortnite

Mega Man and LEGO are finally collaborating, though perhaps not in the way many fans expected. In addition to the handful of cosmetics coming to Fortnite, officially licensed LEGO versions of Mega Man, X and Zero will also be available later this week.

The LEGO skins can be used in LEGO Fortnite's survival and crafting mode, as well as standard Fortnite Creative or custom modes that support LEGO skins.

All in all, it's great to see Mega Man and LEGO finally doing something together, and hopefully this is a precursor to more collaborations down the road. While not every LEGO skin featured in Fortnite has a corresponding real-world set or kit, some do, so perhaps physical Mega Man LEGO could be in the cards someday.

X and Zero Are Coming to Fortnite

The Mega Man Fortnite collaboration is expected to begin this week, potentially as soon as tomorrow according to early leaks. And with the crossover seemingly right around the corner, several official Fortnite channels have started teasing even more Mega Man skins.

As seen in the teaser above, X and Zero are joining the fray too!

We should have more details on the collaboration, including an official start date, very soon.

Notably, this will mark the very first re-release of Command Mission since its original launch on PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube in 2004. More than 20 years later!

Sony hasn't announced a specific release date just yet, or if you can purchase the game individually. We'll have more details as they become available!

Shingo Izumi Says Capcom Would ‘Definitely Love’ to Revisit Mega Man X

Game Informer has published a new interview with Mega Man producer Shingo Izumi and Dual Override producer Hiroyuki Minamitani, and tucked away near the end is a small but encouraging comment about the future of the Mega Man X series

When asked whether he would be open to revisiting the series, Shingo Izumi said, "From my perspective, yes, that is something we would definitely love to visit."

"Mega Man X is an important series within the Mega Man brand," he continued. "We definitely value that series, and if there is a chance, we would always love to consider that."

It's not confirmation that a new Mega Man X title is in development, of course. But with Mega Man X8 still standing as the last new mainline entry more than 20 years later, it's certainly nice to hear the current series producer say the series is still valued and something Capcom would like to revisit.

Mega Man X Regenesis Fan-Game Now Available to Download

Mega Man X Regenesis, a new fan-game inspired by the SNES-era Mega Man X titles, is now available as a free download.

Set in an alternate timeline following the original Mega Man X, Regenesis imagines a world where Sigma won, X fell and humanity is nearing extinction. As a last resort, Dr. Cain activates "Project Regenesis," giving X another chance to change the course of history.

It includes eight original Mavericks, new Special Weapons, armor upgrades, an achievement system and more than 25 original music tracks. Visually, it stays close to the SNES games with hand-crafted pixel art, while adding a few modern touches and extra detail.

Mega Man X Regenesis is available now for Windows, Android and Steam Deck/Linux, with a Mac version planned for later. You can check out Mega Man X Regenesis and download it here!

Hiya Toys Max Armor X Pre-Orders Now Available

Hot on the heels of its San Diego Comic-Con reveal, Hiya Toys has released full-color stock images of Max Armor X and opened pre-orders. Talk about a fast turnaround!

Due to ship in Q3 2027, Max Armor X stands approximately 14.7 cm tall and faithfully recreates the fan-favorite armor from Mega Man X3. The figure includes three interchangeable faceplates, six hand parts, an interchangeable X-Buster, two effect parts and a Z-Saber.

In typical Hiya Toys fashion, the figure also comes with a separate magnetic Hiya badge that interacts with the X-Buster. Bringing the badge close activates three lighting modes: flashing, breathing and steady. Together, they recreate the effect of X charging his weapon before firing.

Pre-orders are currently available directly through Hiya Toys and Big Bad Toystore.

The Lost Lore of Mega Man X's Armors

The Mega Man X series is packed with fun, interesting details that are easy to miss the first time around. Some are hidden in character relationships, like Boomer Kuwanger and Gravity Beetle being siblings. Others come from minor characters who appear briefly but become fan favorites, like Green Biker Dude. And then there are the lingering mysteries, including one big question: what happens to X’s Armors after each game?

Today, I’m excited to share what might be my favorite piece of hidden lore in the series: the Armors from the first four X games may have actually been the same Armor all along. It sounds wild, but according to some old sources, that appears to be the case.

I put together a video covering this odd little piece of X series history, so check it out for the full breakdown. And a big thank you to Protodude for giving me the chance to share this one on Rockman Corner.
