Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2, known as Rockman X Anniversary Collection 2 (ロックマンＸ アニバーサリー コレクション2) in Japan, is a collection from the Mega Man X series that, alongside Mega Man X Legacy Collection, was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (via Steam) on July 24, 2018 while in Japan it will be released on July 26, 2018.

Games

 * Mega Man X5
 * Mega Man X6
 * Mega Man X7
 * Mega Man X8

Extras

 * The collections include feature galleries with illustrations, music, videos, and merchandise.
 * The Day of Σ OVA that was originally part of the Mega Man Maverick Hunter X release is available.
 * A brand new mode titled X Challenge, which is a challenge-based mini-game that allows the player to fight two bosses (Mavericks or Fortress Bosses) from the SNES or PS1 X Games (X1-X6) at the same time.
 * High-resolution option to apply a filter for Mega Man X5 and X6, and HD visual for Mega Man X7 and X8.
 * Much like with Mega Man Legacy Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 each game has its own background frame. While each game only has one background frame, the player is now capable of accessing any of the background frames for all the games regardless of which one is being played, along with the one from X Challenge, and two hidden unlockable frames.
 * Much like with the original release of Mega Man 10, as well as the previous Legacy Collections, trophies and achievements are available for the player to earn for accomplishing certain tasks. In addition, a similar system is introduced for the Nintendo Switch release in the form of Medals known as Hunter Medals.
 * When the credits for Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 are accessed from the Options in the main menu, it allows the player to play as X (based around his PS1 Sprite) through the majority of the credits and be able to attack the credits, similar to the crossover game Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U (excluding the official Capcom ones that are colored in a dark blue/yellow context).

Version Differences

 * A new gameplay option known as "Rookie Hunter Mode" is added to help inexperienced players. This mode works similar to the Super Armor option from Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 of cutting down damage. In addition, the new mode can also prevent instant death from pits and spikes.


 * The English names of the Mavericks from Mega Man X5 had their names changed to be direct translations of their original Japanese names. In the original English release, their names were inspired by the band Guns N' Roses. This change was previously considered for the Mega Man X Collection, but was dropped.
 * Any mention of the name "Octopardo" in X5 has been changed to "Launch Octopus".
 * Much like with Mega Man 8 in Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 the Japanese songs from the opening and endings is removed when using these games in Japanese for the North American release likely due to copyright issues.
 * In addition, the opening and ending vocal themes of X6 have been removed in the American version, with new instrumental tracks replacing them.
 * Load times for both X7 and X8 have been improved.
 * Aluce's cigar is removed from the Japanese version of X7.
 * The glitches from the original X8 release of the maximum medals glitch and the glitch with Zero's Rasetsusen technique have been fixed.

Achievements
These are the achievements and trophies for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Steam versions of Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2.

Trivia
