The Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection will be available in 2023 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch. Players can choose to get it digitally in two separate volumes or get the whole collection in a physical edition for either PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch!
The story of Mega Man Battle Network takes place in the near-future interconnected world of Net Society, which depends upon computer programs known as Network Navigators (or NetNavi for short) to manage everything from their toasters to city power grids. While the networked age brings all manner of convenience, it has also imported a wave of cybercrime eroding all levels of society.
In these games, players take on the role of Lan Hikari using their PErsonal Terminal (or PET) and his NetNavi, MegaMan.EXE, to confront the culprits behind these cybercrimes. Players control MegaMan.EXE as he explores the net, engages in grid-based combat, and uses Battle Chips to gain devastating abilities capable of deleting even the most sinister viruses.
We’re sure to get more information on this collection as we get closer to 2023, so stay tuned for more!
