Udon Entertainment Announces New Mega Man Comics for 2025

During today's SDCC panel, Udon Entertainment dropped a major bomb: they have acquired the master comic book license for Mega Man. Not just the classic series but also X, Legends, Zero and ZX! While Battle Network and Star Force are not part of the deal (remember, both series' rights are shared among a few different parties, not solely Capcom), fans of the "Robot Timeline" will undoubtedly be thrilled.

It's important to note that the image shown during the panel is not meant to be the cover of a single comic but represents the overall license. Udon plans to create new comics based on different series, with the first books scheduled to launch sometime in 2025. No information regarding the artists or writers has been shared yet.

Stay tuned for more updates as they become available!

To celebrate the 17th anniversary of Mega Man ZX Advent, the team at RDX Derivative Works has created an new mod featuring Mega Man Model A Grey and Ashe! The pair were noticeably absent from the Taiwan version of Mega Man X DiVE during the first ZX Advent event, but now you can play as both of them in the Offline Steam version. 

Once you've watched the mod in action in the trailer above, head over to NexusMods for the download. Make sure to carefully follow the instructions and install all the necessary plugins. Once that's done, you can unlock the dynamic duo from the "ZXA Special Supply Box" or Memory fragments under the Custom Tab Store.

Rockman ZX Advent Developer's Report Translation

From May to July of 2007, a set of six "developer's reports" were published on the Rockman ZX Advent Official Blog, which featured interviews of key staff members that worked on the game. These include director Ryota Ito, character designer and scenario writer Makoto Yabe, character chief designer Gyosei Tamura, background designer Hidenori Katsuki, main programmer Tetsuhurio Shishido, and sound producer Ippo Yamada.

Presented for the very first time in English (thanks again to our friend Sider), we're proud to deliver a translation of the developer's reports.

While there is nothing too ground breaking here, it's interesting to learn what these key staff members did and their struggles and highlights during ZX Advent's development. You can find it after the break!
