Sometimes, the culprit will transform into a frankenstein beast called "Crime Beast" and players will have to defeat it in combat to complete the mission once and for all.

It has been announced that Megaton Musashi: Wired will be launched globally for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC (Steam).

Rogues were shown to be fully-customizable with options to change appearance, parts and weapons, victory poses, as well as to tweak your build by upgrading the Rogue's "Motherboard" and "Develop Circuit".
