With the world still suffering the after-effects of Sigma's most recent schemes since the Eurasia incident, humans now look to the stars for salvation.

Long since the disbanding of the Red Alert Syndicate, the people of Earth and Reploids alike face a new challenge.

Since newcomer Axl proved his worth in landing the final blow to Sigma during their last encounter, the Hunters have accepted him into their ranks. Dominated by 2D platforming stages rendering in 3D, a new standard for the X series is born. Mega Man X8 rolls out fully 3D characters and environments introduced in X7, but returns to the classic platforming Mega Man formula in a unique way.

Eight episodes in and X is still going strong.
