Mega Man X fans have been patiently waiting for new content from the franchise for literally years at this point. Except Legacy collection packs released in 2018 along with… say, enthusiastic mobile game in the form of Mega Man X DIVAS 2020, since then we have no original content Megaman X8 launched back in 2004.
Well, Mega Man X is back… Somehow. But not really. The original SNES game gets an all-new homage Minecraft x Mega Man X DLC, which is now available on Nintendo Switch. Content will include some iconic levels from the original game, 10 character skins (including X and Zero, of course), the Mega Man X soundtrack, and multiplayer support.
Note that you will need the latest version Minecraft to download this DLC.
Here’s what Mojang Studios themselves had to say about the release:
“Race through Mega Man X’s blockiest world, packed with the original Mega Man X soundtrack and 14 classic skins from the series! Use the Blue Bomber’s arsenal of 9 weapons to battle an army of Mavericks, blast your way through iconic levels and defeat epic bosses.”
Hopefully this is some sort of signal that we can potentially expect more Mega Man X content in the future, but we’re not holding our breath. Minecraft has hosted a number of different IPs over the years, so this is just another one to check off the list.
