Super MAGFest, the annual Maryland-based convention celebrating video game music and culture, has announced that its 2026 event will be themed around Mega Man X. The theme will set the tone for the entire show, shaping everything from cosplay and merchandise to the lineup of musical guests and featured artists.

The announcement trailer above offers a first look at the Mega Man X-inspired “lore,” which will continue to unfold over the coming weeks and months. The trailer’s music was composed by our friend RRThiel, whose deep appreciation for Mega Man shines through every note.

MAGFest has long been a gathering spot for Mega Man fans to attend panels, cosplay, and connect with one another—so if you’ve never been, this might be the one to catch. Super MAGFest 2026 will run from January 8th to 11th. More details are available from the event's official website.

Mega Man Series Sales Top 43 Million

Capcom announced today through its financial results that the Mega Man series has sold a total of 43 million units as of March 31, 2025. The previously reported number, back in July 2024, was 42 million.

Despite the fact that the last game released was Mega Man XDIVE Offline in August 2023 for PC and mobile devices, the franchise continues to grow thanks to the most recent collection, Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection, and the ongoing sales of Mega Man 11 and other Legacy Collections.

On the horizon, while we wait for a new game to be announced, we can look forward to UDON's Mega Man Timelines comic book series.

Officially Licensed Mega Man X Jersey From Geek Jerseys


Just in time for Mega Man X Timelines #1, Geek Jerseys is releasing a limited run of officially licensed Mega Man X hockey jerseys. Only 150 will be made, each individually numbered.

As a limited edition item, it doesn’t come cheap—we're looking at $140 USD. But if you've got the Zenny to spare, go wild. More images and details are available at Geek Jerseys.

Harumi Fujita, Akira Kitamura Reunite for "Rockmama" Album

Mega Man creator Akira Kitamura and Mega Man 3 composer Harumi Fujita have reunited for the first time since their Capcom days for Fujita’s debut solo album, Rockmama. Set to release this July, the album features 14 brand-new tracks inspired by some of Fujita’s favorite games, including Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Undertale, and of course, Mega Man. Kitamura provided the album’s cover art, drawing inspiration from Fujita’s viral TikTok video where she composed a "new" Mega Man-style track for her son.

The opening track, “Blue Pulse,” is a clear homage to Mega Man—so faithful to the original sound, it could easily pass as an unreleased stage theme. Give it a listen here!

Rockmama is due out in July, with pre-orders available now from Black Screen Records
