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

Earlier this year, Level-5 made a massive comeback in the West by releasing Megaton Musashi W: Wired. Now, eight months down the line, the game is about to get an exciting update. Set to drop on the Switch on the 26th of November, the ‘Megarobo Batroseum’ patch looks promising.

If you check out the latest trailer, you’ll see the spotlight is on the new online PvP mode, aptly named ‘Megarobo Batroseum.’ Here, players can choose from a selection of preset mechs and dive straight into battle. Whether you want to duke it out with friends or team up with strangers according to your match preferences, this mode has got you covered. Pretty cool, right?

But that’s not the only thing on offer. The update also introduces Battle Royale and Team Battle modes, perfect for those who crave intense one-on-one combat or prefer to embrace the chaos of free-for-alls. New in-game stat-boosting items make an appearance, as does the ‘Sengi’ system—a unique ability that each unit can power up during a match.

And wait, there’s more! The ‘Megarobo Batroseum’ update also adds several new stages and pilots. These pilots aren’t just for the PvP mode; you can use them in certain story missions and online battles too.

For a sneak peek at these new features, you can watch the trailer. But if you’re someone who prefers to read, head to the Megaton Musashi website for a complete rundown.

Earlier this year, we thoroughly enjoyed Megaton Musashi W: Wired when it launched on the Switch. Our review praised it as “a fantastic return to form for Level-5, delivering addictive mech-battling fun that got far less attention than it deserved.”

So, have you tried it out yet? Anything in the upcoming update that you’re particularly excited about? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
