Mega Man X6, known in Japan as Rockman X6 (ロックマンX6, Rokkuman X6) is the sixth entry in the main X series, developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation in 2001-2002, becoming the final Mega Man game for the console. It later received a Windows port in a few regions.

Story

Three weeks after the fall of the Eurasia colony, a mysterious phenomenon called the Nightmare begins to occur. Rumors spread that the cause of these Nightmares is the ghost of Zero, leading X to embark on an investigation. Secretly, the genius scientist Gate is manipulating the Nightmare from the shadows, having created it from a fragment containing Zero's DNA. He also used it to create the strongest Reploid ever, High Max, who now stands in X's way. Can X put a stop to Gate's ambitions...?

Characters

Name	Image	Description
X		X leads the 17th Unit of the Maverick Hunters. He's working on the Earth recovery operation with other Hunters when he receives Alia's SOS.
Zero		Zero once headed up the Special 0 Unit. An SA-Class Hunter, he single-handedly saved the Earth from destruction. He has been missing since the Sigma incident. Few believe he'll ever be found.
Alia		The Hunters' navigator, Alia analyzes situations and provides appropriate backup for Hunters on missions. She has an impressive aptitude for analyzing computer programs.
Signas		The young general of the Hunters, Signas has gained the corps' trust and loyalty with his cool judgement and level-headed leadership.
Douglas		An expert mechanic, Douglas devises and maintains all the Hunters' equipment, including weapons, vehicles, and facilities. He has thrown himself into the recovery operation with fierce dedication.
Zero Nightmare		A mysterious and dangerous being that highly resembles Zero. Some are calling it the "ghost of Zero", but what is its true nature?
High Max		High Max leads an investigative team created by Isoc. His abilities are said to surpass X and Zero's — yet no one knows why he was created.
Isoc		The scientist Reploid Isoc pulls together an investigative team to resolve the mystery of the "Nightmare Phenomenon."
Gate		Once considered a genius in Reploid development, Gate has lately been shunned in scientific circles because his research was misunderstood. His luck begins to change when he discovers something interesting...
Sigma		The evil mastermind who was defeated by Zero after his plans nearly destroyed the planet. Someone has helped him return from the dead, but he's definitely worse for wear.
Dynamo		A mercenary once hired by Sigma. He now seeks to profit off the power of the Nightmare.
Dr. Light		The creator of X, who has left Light Capsules to deliver Armor Parts to him, years after his own passing.
