Mega Man X2 takes place in the near future in which humans attempt to peacefully coexist with intelligent robots called "Reploids", with some of the Reploids going "Maverick" and threatening daily life. The plot follows a "Maverick Hunter" protagonist named Mega Man X, who has recently saved humanity from the Maverick leader Sigma. A new trio of Mavericks calling themselves the "X-Hunters" has arisen, intent on destroying X by luring him with parts of his comrade Zero, who died in the conflict with Sigma six months earlier.

Following in the traditional gameplay of the original Mega Man series, Mega Man X2 features much of the same action-platforming elements as the first installment of the series, whereby the player must complete a series of stages by various gaining power-ups and the special weapon of the boss at the end of each stage. Mega Man X2 is graphically similar to its predecessor as well, but Capcom included an in-cartridge enhancement known as the Cx4 chip to allow for some 3D wireframe effects. The development team was instructed to utilize this technology as much as possible when working on the game.
