Just like Mega Man X7, players bring a duo of Maverick Hunters into each stage however, this time, all three playable characters are available from the get-go, each with their own distinct gameplay style. In addition to gaining special weapons from bosses, players can develop upgrades for the heroes with Metals scattered through the stages and dropped by slain enemies. Now it's up to X, Zero, and Axl to stop these new Mavericks and rescue Lumine.Īs you may have guessed by now, the gameplay of X8 is very much like its predecessors as players complete a series of stages and defeat the bosses to earn their special weapon. The Jakob Project has been hijacked for reasons unrelated to any virus. However, Lumine is suddenly kidnapped by the Maverick Hunters' old enemy Vile, and a worldwide Maverick riot breaks out amongst the new generation Reploids. The director of the project is a Reploid named Lumine. These new generation Reploids help construct an orbital elevator to transport workers and materials into space. Each contains a DNA Copy Chip that lets them freely change their bodies and nullify viral infections (Axl is revealed to be a prototype of these Reploids), making them immune to the Sigma Virus. As part of this project, a new generation of Reploids are put into production. The humans seek asylum from the Maverick Wars by colonizing the Moon in the "Jakob Project". It is the year 21XX, long after the Red Alert incident. It was later released in Japan, Europe, South Korea in the following year along with a port on Windows PC. ![]() Mega Man X8 is the eighth and final game (so far) in the Mega Man X series released in North America for the PlayStation 2 on December 7, 2004.
