Capcom's Mega Man X Legacy Collection launches in July

Capcom has announced its new Mega Man X Legacy Collection, which includes all eight mainline Mega Man X titles, coming to PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on July 24th.

Mega Man X started life on the Super Nintendo in 1993, with later entries appearing on the likes of Sega Saturn, PlayStation, and PlayStation 2. The X series offers a slightly darker tone compared to the original Mega Man games, expanding their classic platform action with various new abilities, such as wall jumps and slides.

As was the case with the Mega Man Legacy Collection, Capcom has, for reasons unexplained, elected to split the included games across two distinct volumes. Mega Man X, X2, X3, and X4 will be released under the guise of the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1, while X5, X6, X7, and X8 will feature in the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2.
