Mega Man X Dive

Cooperative play and competitive play are multiplayer modes, while other game modes are single-player. Initially, only the story mode (normal) can be selected, but as the player level increases, additional modes become available. Multiplayer elements, such as competitive play, cooperative play, raid bosses, and the DNA portal, were discontinued when the online version of the app ended.

Story mode involves conquering stages similarly to previous games in the series. Each stage is divided into six parts, with a boss character appearing every third part. There are items throughout the stage that will temporarily increase player stats, and players will receive rewards based on the number of items collected. The item "Deep Element," is placed within these stages.

The game recapitulates the story from the Mega Man series, with the player as the main character, controlling protagonist X as the first playable character. It features several original characters, such as ViA and RiCO, whose characterizations are revealed throughout the story. The player, due in part to some corrupted data known as the Maverick Data, gets transported into the Deep Log, a massive database containing data on every Mega Man game. They must progress through the scrambled code of the Maverick Wars, Elf Wars, and the Game of Destiny to destroy the Maverick Data, which is causing the gradual corruption of the Deep Log.

The original plan was initiated by Capcom Taiwan, and after receiving approval from Capcom in Japan, the project began development around March 2018. In addition to Capcom Taiwan, illustrations and 3D animations were produced by Capcom Japan. The original character RiCO was newly designed by Keisuke Mizuno, who also supervised all 2D illustrations and 3D models of other characters. Supervision and quality control related to the intellectual property were thoroughly checked by their team in Osaka.

Returning to the original story, the producers and directors at Capcom Taiwan enjoyed the series and believed the online game would be appealing. While the game was conceived as a Mega Man X title, the staff stated that there would be "endless" possibilities. This game marks Capcom Taiwan's inaugural venture into developing original titles. At that time, Yoda Hideto was residing in Taiwan and had a deep affinity for the series.

While the gameplay and visuals were praised, players felt that the multiplayer modes did not properly honor the franchise, to the extent that Mega Man X DiVE did not feel like a true Mega Man game. Despite preferring a sequel rather than DiVE, players appreciated the accessibility of the story but had mixed feelings about the customization required to level up and whether the stages were appropriately designed.

In Capcom's financial report for the quarter ending December 31, 2020, mobile content sales increased by 80.7% year-over-year. This boost is attributed to Mega Man X DiVE and the mainland China release of Street Fighter Duel. Both titles contributed to a rise in mobile revenue of 4.7 billion yen, or approximately US$45 million.
