'''''Mega Man X8''''', known in Japan as '''''Rockman X8''''' (ロックマンX8, ''Rokkuman X8'') is the eighth and last entry of the main [[X series|''X'' series]], developed and published by [[Capcom]] for the [[PlayStation 2]] in 2004-2005. A [[Windows]] port was later released outside of North America only.
== Story ==
The year is [[21XX]]. Endless turmoil between [[human]]s and [[Reploid]]s continues to wreak havoc on Earth, and humankind has placed its hopes of survival on an exodus to space. A full-fledged evacuation to the satellite moon has begun, thanks to the completion of [[Jakob]], a giant rail elevator. A large contingent of [[new generation Reploid]]s has already been sent to the moon to construct a base.
However, these new generation Reploids, capable of transforming into anyone else with the right [[DNA]], pose a secret threat, as they have copied some very dangerous DNA — the DNA of [[Sigma]], thought to have been previously destroyed. Reploid revolts are springing up all over. [[X]], along with [[Zero]] and [[Axl]], heads to space on a mission to investigate — and squelch, if possible — this extremely hazardous situation.<ref>English game manual, ''Mega Man X8''. 2005.</ref>

Mega Man X8, known in Japan as Rockman X8 (ロックマンX8, Rokkuman X8) is the eighth and last entry of the main X series, developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 2 in 2004-2005. A Windows port was later released outside of North America only.

Story

The year is 21XX. Endless turmoil between humans and Reploids continues to wreak havoc on Earth, and humankind has placed its hopes of survival on an exodus to space. A full-fledged evacuation to the satellite moon has begun, thanks to the completion of Jakob, a giant rail elevator. A large contingent of new generation Reploids has already been sent to the moon to construct a base.

However, these new generation Reploids, capable of transforming into anyone else with the right DNA, pose a secret threat, as they have copied some very dangerous DNA — the DNA of Sigma, thought to have been previously destroyed. Reploid revolts are springing up all over. X, along with Zero and Axl, heads to space on a mission to investigate — and squelch, if possible — this extremely hazardous situation.[1]
