Level 5 Mech RPG ‘Megaton Musashi W: Wired’ Brings Online PvP Mode In Upcoming Update
Level-5 returned to the West in a big way earlier this year with its release Megaton Musashi W: Wired. Eight months on, the mech warrior is rolling out a powerful new patch, with the ‘Megarobo Batroseum’ update expected to launch on Switch. November 26.
As detailed in the new trailer (above), this season’s headline addition is a new online PvP mode – appropriately called ‘Megarobo Batroseum’ – where you’ll pick up a mech from a limited number of presets and jump right into the battle. You can invite friends or enter rooms with other fighters based on your match rules preferences. Pretty.
Equally exciting are the new Battle Royale and Team Battle modes for one-on-one duels or chaotic free-to-play matches, new stat-boosting in-game items, and the ‘Sengi’ system new – a unique ability for each unit that can be built in battle.
And that’s it still not all. The ‘Megarobo Batroseum’ update also introduces a series of new stages and trials, the latter of which can be used in select story missions and online play, as well as the standard PvP mode.
All of these new additions are showcased in the updated trailer above, but you can also check out the full list of newcomers over Megaton Musashi website if you want it in text form.
We had a great time with Megaton Musashi W: Wired when it hit Switch earlier this year. In our reviewwe described the game as “a strong return to form for Level 5, delivering addictive fighter action that feels like the year’s biggest sleeper release”.
