The update, titled Megarobo Batroseum, will allow players to dive into the multiplayer of the game with no prior investment. Players will be able to pick a pre-set Rogue—a type of mecha—from a wide selection and compete in a selection of multiplayer matchups ranging from 1v1 duels to six-player free-for-alls.

Beyond that action, three retro pilots will also be added to the game from foundational super robot and mecha franchises: Ryoma Nagare (Getter Robo), Duke Fleed (UFO Robot Grendizer), and Koji Kabuto (Mazinger Z). Players will be able to use them in both the Megarobo Batroseum multiplayer modes, regular online play, and specific missions in Megaton Mushashi W: Wired.
