Capcom Brings Mega Man X Command Mission To PS5 And PS4
The RPG sat outside the Mega Man X Anniversary Collection releases, so paid distribution is now the only route to the game on current PlayStation hardware for players who want to own it rather than rent it through a subscription.
Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Capcom began offering Mega Man X Command Mission through the Classics Catalog for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers on September 15, with the game available on PS5 and PS4. Individual sales started the same day for 1,000 yen, so users without a subscription can buy it. The 2004 PS2 and GameCube turn-based RPG was announced for the catalog during the September 3 State of Play broadcast.
The re-release reaches PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 both ways at once: through PlayStation Plus Premium's Classics Catalog and as a standalone purchase at 1,000 yen. The original 2004 release came to PS2 and GameCube, developed mainly by staff from Capcom's Breath of Fire series. Its battle system runs on a timeline called X Order that maps eight rounds at a time, with Action Triggers for input-based attacks and Hyper Modes for temporary boosts. The story follows X and his allies against Epsilon and the Rebellion on Gigantis, and it stands apart from the main Mega Man X storyline.
