Now, the latest version of the Mega Man X line has arrived in another game as a new DLC for Minecraft.

In addition, all of the game’s levels have been recreated in Minecraft architecture, as well as boss battles against Mavericks such as Chill Penguin and Storm Eagle, as well as the recurring villain Vile, right up to the very final boss Sigma.
The new DLC pack has been unveiled on the official Minecraft website, with Nintendo announcing that the content is also available for Switch game version. The DLC trailer, shared across all of the announcements, showcases levels played in classic side-scroll mode, of course, alongside multiplayer options and classic music tracks included.
