Update: Publisher Deep Silver responded via The Mega Man Network, saying, “there are currently no plans to sell the Kickstarter backer DLC items for Mighty No. 9,” suggesting that the Microsoft listings were made in error.

After over 4 million dollars, several delays, and growing contempt from its backers, Keiji Inafune’s Mighty No. 9 finally launched last week on most promised platforms. The conceived spiritual successor to Capcom’s Mega Man series was released to high criticism from reviewers for its boorish level design, subpar visuals, and an overall lack of proper polish, among other woes.

Backers who pledged for rewards at $60 and above have taken some inkling of comfort with the promised exclusive DLC: the “Golden Hero” costume and the “MegaXel” bonus transformation. As it turns out, unfortunately, Comcept has gone back on their word, with the two backer-exclusive bonuses that were locked behind expensive paywalls

on Kickstarter now launching as public DLC in August.

Revealed via the online Xbox Store on Microsoft’s website, the Golden and MegaXel Beck add-ons will be releasing on the service on August 24th, with no known price point at this time. It is currently unknown if and when these will launch on the Nintendo eShop, Steam, or the PlayStation Store, though it will most likely launch at around the same period.

Mighty No. 9 is available now on Windows PC, Wii U, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. Launches on Xbox 360, Mac, Linux, Nintendo 3DS, and PlayStation Vita are currently pending.
