New Mega Man X game confirmed...

[Alpha Six]

...and it's an MMO?

Korean sites Beta News and Mediot have brought forth some new details pertaining to Rockman Online. In addition to providing a few new official illustrations focusing in on Rockman X and Zero (below), both sites have confirmed the game as a 2D side scrolling action RPG with 3D graphics (comparable to that of Mega Man X8 and Maverick Hunter X).

Further, Online will apparently be taking place within the Rockman X universe and its world will be populated by NPCs in addition to users. Capcom is still mum on a console, however many have speculated it to be a PC release due to developer NeoWiz's previous efforts on the platform. At this time, the game will remain a Korean exclusive with no Japanese or Western release planned.
