Mega Man Returns In iOS Social RPG
Mega Man is celebrating his 25th anniversary this year. While Mega Man Legends 3 is still missing in action, Capcom's Blue Bomber is returning in a new social RPG exclusively for iOS.
Dubbed Mega Man Xover, the game is set in a world where all of Mega Man's universes crossover. The folks over at The Mega Man Network translated a description of the game's story on Capcom's Japanese site, which reads: "It’s a world where all the worlds of Rockman have crossed over. The gulf of space-time has been closed thanks to the efforts of Dr. Wily, Sigma, and other villains to Rockman and co.! Dr Light and Dr. Cossack work together in creating a new robot to oppose this crisis. A production model, this robot uses “battle memory” that has been scattered over the world, and possesses infinite potential to transform and increase his power. The player battles evil as this new type robot. Create your own Rockman, and battle with others to protect peace!"
No gameplay details are known yet, but Capcom did confirm that the game is releasing in the U.S. for iOS.
