Level-5’s Mech RPG ‘Megaton Musashi W: Wired’ to Introduce Online PvP Mode in Next Update

Earlier this year, Level-5 made a striking return to Western gamers with Megaton Musashi W: Wired. Now, eight months later, the exciting mech combat game is getting a hefty new update known as the ‘Megarobo Batroseum,’ which is slated to hit the Nintendo Switch on November 26th.

The update, as showcased in the latest trailer, introduces a brand new online PvP mode ambitiously named ‘Megarobo Batroseum.’ In this mode, you’re tasked with choosing a mech from a limited set of pre-designed options and diving straight into combat. Whether you prefer battling friends or jumping into a match with others who share your competitive spirit, this mode has got you covered. Sounds like a blast, right?

In addition to this, the update brings a slew of new features, such as Battle Royale and Team Battle modes. Whether you crave intense one-on-one skirmishes or enjoy the chaos of a free-for-all, there’s something for everyone. The introduction of stat-enhancing in-game items and the innovative ‘Sengi’ system also spices things up. Each unit now has a unique ability, which can be charged up during battles for strategic advantages.

But wait, there’s more! The update isn’t just about modes and abilities. It also offers a fresh selection of stages and pilots, the latter being usable in specific story missions and, naturally, in the PvP arena.

Though you can watch all these exciting elements in the update trailer, if you’re the type who prefers to read, all the details are neatly listed on the Megaton Musashi website.
