The Fall of 'Mega Man X DiVE': CAPCOM Announces Shutdown Followed by Offline Version

Coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the 'Mega Man X' series, players were shocked to receive the shutdown notice for the mobile game 'Mega Man X DiVE', set to end service on September 27, 2023.

However, a plot twist arrived just days later! On June 13, the developer announced an offline version for Steam, iOS, and Android to be released within 2023. This 'shut down then pivot to single-player' tactic left fans amused by CAPCOM's relentless drive to milk the franchise for every last cent.

The community discussion is heated: some suggest the 'Mega Man' IP is fading and that lasting three years was a surprise; others joke that the game survived by selling 'milk money' through crossovers like 'Monster Hunter' or 'Devil May Cry'. Ultimately, fans are just hoping these efforts lead to a proper sequel like 'Mega Man X9'.
