The card expansion debuts "cool" characters from the Mega Man Zero and Lost Planet series
TOKYO, Japan – December 27, 2023 – Join the Resistance in a hostile, frozen world as part of the “Absolute Zero” card pack expansion, launching in TEPPEN today. A thrilling story continues to unfold, introducing characters from the Mega Man Zero and Lost Planet series and featuring fan favorites from other Capcom video games, including the Resident Evil series, the Monster Hunter series, the Ace Attorney series, and more.
Zero to Hero
Continuing after the events of the “Sigma’s Invasion” card pack expansion, Resident Evil’s Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong find themselves on E.D.N III, a dying planet filled with deadly monsters based on the Lost Planet series. Leon is rescued by a group known as the Resistance and reunited with Ada—now in the form of a Cyber-Elf from Mega Man Zero. The two join the Resistance to free the utopian city Neo Arcadia from Dr. Weil (Mega Man Zero series) and the former hero Copy X Mk. II (Mega Man Zero series). Neo Arcadia and the Resistance need to rely on another hero: Zero, the titular protagonist of the Mega Man Zero series.
