In the year 20XX, an outbreak of a robotic-virus known as the “Roboenza” runs rampart across the globe. Roll becomes infected with the virus, and Mega Man is forced to go to Dr. Wily for a cure, believing him to be responsible. However, amidst all the chaos, eight new Robot Masters surface, each holding a key to the cure…
Mega Man 10 (Rockman 10: Threat From Outer Space!!) was released one year after Mega Man 9. It continued its predecessor’s retro 8-bit presentation and throwback gameplay and would be the last original Mega Man title (aside from Street Fighter X Mega Man) until Mega Man 11 in 2018.
Players can choose Mega Man or Proto Man at the beginning of the game without the need for DLC—a first for the series.
