It seems like Microsoft will be giving ReCore another crack at the market soon. The long rumoured ReCore: Definitive Edition is apparently real, according to what news editor Saurabh Charde from website Indian Noob is saying. According to sources close to him, it is due to launch later this month.

These sources claim that Definitive Edition will have HDR support, as well as enhanced visuals, in addition to a brand new mission called the ‘Eye of Obsidian’. There will also be a new Corebot included with this new edition of the game.

Apparently, Microsoft will be making this version available for free for anyone who already owns the game, in addition to of course selling it on the market as well. It is due to be announced at Gamescom this month, followed by a release on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs on August 29. It remains to be seen how much water these rumours hold- but for now, all of this seems to sound believable enough, at least.

Heck, look at X’s appearance. It’s friggin’ demonic.

The game would feature several familiar elements from the X series including Charge Shots, Wall Jumping, Dashing and much more. You could also equip the weapons of fallen foes and even partake in platforming sequences.

Unfortunately, it seems the project began dying out when Inafune left Capcom. Which is a shame, since the X series seemed more in tune for a gritty franchise like this than the regular Mega Man games.

Nevertheless, hit up the link to see what could have been. And here’s a fun fact for you: the above Mega Man suit was designed by the same concept artist who would go on to create Iron Man’s armour for the Marvel’s movie franchise.
