He reveals all of the new generation Reploids contain a copy chip which possesses his DNA, meaning these 'virus-proof' Reploids are essentially copies of Sigma. Eventually, Sigma is tracked to the Moon, where he unveils his ultimate plan: eradicate the 'old generation' and re-populate it with his 'children'. While battling the Mavericks, the Hunters pick up hints that Sigma has returned and teasing a concept called 'the new world'.

He reveals the 'Sigma army' isn't what it appears to be instead, they are new generation Reploids created as part of the project who are immune from viruses and able to use DNA copy data to change their shapes and appearances to assist with space development.Įverything seems to be running smoothly until Vile, who was last seen in Mega Man X3, returns and kidnaps Lumine, causing Maverick uprisings all over the world.
