Whether your a fan of mobile games or not, it would appear that the next official Mega Man X game is going to be a mobile release. It's called Mega Man X DiVE, and Capcom has officially announced that a closed beta test will take place on August 23rd for Android users. If you'd like to participate in this beta, you can sign up on the official Mega Man X DiVE website.
Gameplay trailer from Rockman Corner
Above you can watch a short video for Mega Man X DiVE that was recently dug up by
Rockman Corner, a Mega Man enthusiast website. This particular gameplay video shows off an optional auto-lock mechanic that should allow for easy touchscreen controls, though manual input also appears to be present, which is displayed towards the end of the video. There's also an
official trailer available on Capcom's Mega Man X DiVE website that shows both Mega Man X and Mega Man Zero as playable characters. Apparently, Mega Man X DiVE will serve as a greatest-hits of sorts, with plenty of familiar stages and characters in tow.
We still don't know how Mega Man X DiVE will be monetized or when the official release will happen, but if you'd like to take an early look, you'll want to register for closed-beta access on the official website before August 22nd. Participants will be randomly selected, and there are only 30,000 slots available, so make sure to register soon. My guess is that the title will land on the Play Store as a free-to-play release chock full of in-app purchases, though I'd love for Capcom to surprise us all with a premium release, but somehow I doubt that will happen.
