Capcom has just announced the release date and pricing for Mega Man X DiVE Offline, the upcoming standalone version of Mega Man X DiVE which was announced a little while ago. The game will release for Steam, Android and iOS starting September 1st, 2023, and can now be pre-purchased on Steam for $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 / ¥3990.

Additionally, Capcom has announced the minimum system requirements for the game on each platform. Curiously, it is noted that an internet connection is required to play Mega Man X DiVE “Offline”. It’s not clear at this time whether this is only required for initial install/activation, or whether you need a constant connection.

Next month, Mega Man Battle Network will be making its debut in Capcom’s free-to-play cross-series card game TEPPEN! Capcom states that the addition is due to popular demand, so give yourselves a pat on the back, everyone.

First revealed in TEPPEN Headline #18, the next event and card pack will be known as 30_MINUTES.EXE, and will be added to the game on July 3, 2023 – just in time for the game’s 4th anniversary.

30_MINUTES.EXE is set in Den City, a floating space colony, whose inhabitants live peacefully in a Cyberworld of their own making. However, this peace is disturbed when M. Bison and his army of invaders threaten to destroy the city in 30 minutes. With time running short, RiCO, one of the city’s operators, calls in the help of an unlikely hero: Ryu. He will be joined by various operators and NetNavis from the MMBN series, fighting together to prevent the destruction of the Cyberworld.

After the recent announced shutdown of Mega Man X DiVE’s gacha version, it seemed like the Deep Log might be lost forever… but never fear! Just announced at Capcom Showcase, Mega Man X DiVE Offline will be launching on Steam, iOS and Android before the end of 2023.

Mega Man X DiVE Offline will have (almost) all of the content from the original version, featuring more than 900 stages and over 100 playable characters – not just from Mega Man X, but from the other Mega Man subseries as well, including Battle Network and Star Force.

The offline version of the game does omit some features from the original. Crossovers with other games (such as Street Fighter and Monster Hunter) will not be included, and none of the multiplayer modes will make the cut either. Additionally, you will not be able to transfer any data from the original game.
