Original article [Sat 2nd Jul, 2022 02:35 BST]: Level-5 – known for series like Professor Layton, Inazuma Eleven and Watch Yo-kai – announced my RPG mech game Megaton Musashi will take place for free in Japan this fall.

Megaton Musashi X will include the six major content updates Megaton Musashi has received since launching on Switch in 2021, and will also feature new content. This includes Season 2 of the story, PVP online battles, new mechanics, characters, weapons and stages (Thank you, Gematsu).

Save data from the original game will be carried over to Megaton Musashi X, and players who do this will be able to purchase a special set of items featuring exclusive mechanics. Getter Robo and Mazinger Z will also join the free release by Megaton Musashi when it launches later this year.

There’s no word on this new version of the game being localized, but if anything changes we’ll let you know. Megaton Musashi also goes beyond the game and comes with anime, manga, and other Japanese merchandise.
