This being the fifth game in the X series, and the sequel to some of the best Action Platformers of all time, a lot rides on X5’s shoulders. In short, there’s a really big mess, and Sigma caused it. To make matters worse, the world will be destroyed via space-station collision by teatime.

In doing so, they unintentionally release the Sigma Virus, infecting every Reploid on Earth. X and Zero head out to stop the infuriatingly persistent Maverick, only to put him down for a fifth with very little effort. That is of course, until Sigma seemingly immediately returns and attacks again. With yet another “you’ve killed Sigma” medal clipped onto his lapel, the world was once again in a state of relative peace.
