Kotobukiya Mega Man 11 Oshi Works Figures Revealed

Kotobukiya has revealed a new Mega Man 11 figure line under its Oshi Works label, with Mega Man, Roll, Dr. Light, and Dr. Wily planned as part of a coordinated set running through early 2027.

The Oshi Works line is geared toward display rather than play, with each figure standing between 7.1 and 8.66 inches tall with no articulation. The focus here seems to be on presentation, with detailed paintwork and clear parts used to better highlight each character. Another nice touch is the use of magnets, letting you secure and reposition the figures to better suit your display.

Pre-orders are available here:

• Mega Man
• Roll
• Dr. Light & Dr. Wily Set

Mega Man kicks off the line in November 2026, followed by Roll in December 2026. Dr. Light and Dr. Wily are both slated for January 2027.

Mega Man Producer Shingo Izumi Wants to Alternate Between New Games and Collections

Following Kazuhiro Tsuchiya’s departure in 2022, Shingo Izumi has taken on a larger role in guiding Mega Man's future as the franchise's new lead producer. With Star Force Legacy Collection out the door and Dual Override still in development, the immediate roadmap is clear. 

But in a new interview with 80 Level, Izumi also spoke a bit about how Capcom is thinking about the series as it approaches its 40th anniversary.

With Mega Man approaching its 40th anniversary, how do you see the franchise evolving? What role do projects like Legacy Collections play in shaping its future alongside new titles?

Shingo Izumi: We intend to continue expanding the fan base while carefully preserving the appeal and value of the brand and pursuing new challenges. Our immediate focus is to ensure the success of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection and Mega Man: Dual Override, and to build a strong foundation that connects to the future.

At the same time, we believe that collection titles play a significant role in revitalizing a brand, while also serving an important purpose in preserving and passing down game culture as part of its historical legacy. Ideally, we would like to release new titles and collection titles consistently, alternating between the two over time.

Izumi's interest in alternating between new titles and collections may offer the clearest hint yet at what Capcom wants Mega Man's release cadence to look like going forward. If they can follow through, that kind of consistency would go a long way toward supporting its goal of growing the series into a core IP. While the current “evergreen” approach has helped sustain the franchise in recent years, the demand for new games sooner rather than later is clear.

For more from Izumi and comments from Koji Oda, including some behind-the-scenes discussion about Star Force Legacy Collection, you can read the full interview at 80 Level.

First Mega Man: Dual Override Goods Coming in October

Capcom quietly dropped pre-orders for three new pieces of Dual Override merchandise on E-Capcom this morning, all based on the game’s key art. Interestingly, some of the items feature a less-cropped version of the illustration, giving us a clearer look at Mega Man’s Mega Buster and lower body.

The lineup includes a muffler towel, an NFC-enabled keychain that unlocks AR content when scanned with a phone, letting fans take photos with Mega Man and listen to a looping piece of music from Dual Override, and a simple tote bag that looks well-suited for travel.

All three items are currently slated to ship on October 15 and, for now, appear to be exclusive to Japan.

Shingo Izumi Says Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Success Could Inspire Star Force 4

Mega Man producer Shingo Izumi has shed a little more light on why Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection came together, and what its success could mean for the future of the series.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection is Now Available

We have liftoff! Today is launch day for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. The game is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

To celebrate, there are a few launch-day extras worth checking out. Capcom has shared a special commemorative illustration by Shingo Adachi and Masaya Itagaki featuring Geo and friends, Twitch is offering an exclusive badge, and Udon Entertainment is dropping a limited edition set of Star Force pins at 10:00 AM PT.

Have fun out there, and enjoy jumping back into the world of Star Force!

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Sonia and Luna DLC Pack Arrives Tomorrow

For one reason or another, Capcom does not seem eager for fans to know that Luna Platz and Sonia Strumm can be selected as main menu navigators in Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. Earlier this month, they asked us to remove footage of the two in action and also requested that certain Japanese news sites strip out references to them.

Now, with the game launching very soon, it looks like Capcom is finally preparing to make it official. A DLC pack for Luna and Sonia has appeared on the Japanese Nintendo Switch eShop, where its listed for release on March 27th at 300 yen. The pack is not currently visible on English storefronts, but chances are good it will show up sometime tomorrow.

As previously reported, Luna and Sonia feature commentary on the main menu performed by their original English and Japanese voice actors. Players can swap between them at any time with the press of a button. Other previously confirmed menu navigators include Geo in his everyday clothes and Omega-Xis.

Mega Man Festival Begins in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds

In case you missed it, the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Mega Man DLC Pack is now available, bringing both Mega Man and Proto Man to the track. To celebrate, CrossWorlds is hosting a limited-time "Mega Man Festival" this weekend, running from March 26 at 8:00 PM ET through March 29 at 7:59 PM ET.

By taking part in the event, players can earn Festival Points and redeem them for a batch of Mega Man-themed goodies, including the Blue Flash title card, decals, a themed horn effect, and the new Item Buster Kit Gadget (pictured above). 

These rewards could potentially be offered again down the line, but for now, this weekend’s event is the only way to grab them.

Blokees Teases Mega Man X Figures

The previously announced Mega Man Star Force and Mega Man Zero Blokees made another appearance at the 2026 BLOKEES Global Partners Conference. While no new information was shared on either figure, Blokees also casually confirmed that Mega Man X Blokees are in production, with the series logo and a simple “coming soon” displayed at the event.

No other details were revealed, so here’s hoping we won’t have to wait too long to hear more.

Dr. Wily is Getting His Own One-Shot From Udon This Summer

Dr. Wily will headline his own standalone story, written by Tavis Maiden with artwork by Ryan Jampole, Udon Entertainment has confirmed. 

Here's the official solicitation:

Dr. Albert Wily, the (self-proclaimed) world's greatest scientist stars in his own 1-shot adventure! Dr. Wily's ultimate scheme is about to be revealed, with only one thing standing in his way... the annoyingly "heroic" robot known as Mega Man!

Cover A comes from Ryan Jampole, with Cover B by Jeffrey “Chamba” Cruz and Cover C by Tavis Maiden. Rounding things out, Cover D—Udon’s first-ever Mega Man “swimsuit” cover—is illustrated by Andrew Dickman.

If that doesn’t get your gears turning, this might: Udon tells me this one-shot serves as a prelude to a new, currently unannounced classic Mega Man mini-series set after Mega Man Timelines #1. More details on that front in the near future.

Dr. Wily #1 s currently scheduled to hit stores on June 17, 2026.

Mega Man & Proto Man Join Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds on March 25th

Street Fighter 6 Announces Mega Man Star Force & Battle Network Collaboration

With almost two weeks to go until Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection launches, Capcom is kicking promotion into higher gear with a full-on Street Fighter 6 collaboration.

Starting March 17th, players who log in will receive a batch of Star Force and Battle Network-themed items, including helmets and even Mr. Famous’s lab coat. The Battle Hub will also get a makeover, presumably themed around Star Force and/or Battle Network, along with a special Street Voter event. 

Check out the collaboration trailer below!

CoroCoro Comic Teases New Mega Man Star Force One-Shot Manga

Good news for fans of Mega Man Star Force and manga author Ryo Takamisaki: a brand-new one-sho is set to debut March 19th on Weekly CoroCoro’s website according to a Star Force Legacy Collection preview in the latest issue of CoroCoro Comic.

While best known for his Battle Network manga, Takamisaki previously dipped into the Star Force series in 2008 with a short two-chapter adaptation of Mega Man Star Force 3. The scope of this new one-shot, as well as its story, has not yet been revealed. It's also unclear whether an official English translation will be released, something Capcom USA previously provided for Takamisaki’s Battle Network Legacy Collection reunion one-shot.

CoroCoro also notes that a new commemorative illustration by Masaya Itagaki will be posted to Weekly CoroCoro’s site on March 23rd. The small image next to the QR code in the article appears to be a teaser of that illustration.

Ben Diskin Not Returning to Voice Mega Man in Dual Override

Following SAG-AFTRA’s “Do Not Work” order for Mega Man: Dual Override, Ben Diskin, the English voice actor for Mega Man, has announced that he will no longer voice the character and will not be returning for Dual Override.

SAG-AFTRA Issues "Do Not Work" Order for Mega Man: Dual Override (Updated)

The Screen Actors Guild American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has issued a “Do Not Work” order for Mega Man: Dual Override, instructing union members to withhold any voice acting performance work until further notice. The notice, published March 9th, says the producer “failed to initiate the signatory process.”

In simple terms, SAG-AFTRA says the production has not properly started the process required to become a union-signatory project. According to SAG-AFTRA, producers must begin that process through its signatory system, and Global Rule One requires members to work only under union contracts.

The notice does not indicate how much voice work had already been completed (although we did hear a tiny bit in the Video Game Awards reveal trailer back in December). But what it does show is that there is currently a contract issue tied to the project’s union status. If that issue is resolved, the order could be lifted. 

At this time, there is nothing to suggest the notice will impact Dual Override's overall development, as it appears to primarily concern the English voice performance side of production. The game remains in development and is still scheduled for release in 2027.

UPDATE: Ben Diskin, Mega Man's voice actor, has exited the game over union-related concerns.

We’ll keep an eye on the situation and share any updates from SAG-AFTRA or Capcom.

Rockman x Hololive Collaboration Teased

Capcom has quietly confirmed a Rockman collaboration with hololive in Japan. The teaser appeared on Capcom’s official amusement campaign site over the weekend, with Rockman announced as the first entry in the company’s 2026 hololive collaboration lineup. 

At the moment, Capcom has not announced which hololive talents are involved or what the collaboration will actually include. Based on where the teaser was posted, this looks to be tied to Capcom’s amusement and retail side in Japan, so goods, prize items, or store campaign material seem most likely.

For those unfamiliar, hololive is a major VTuber agency operated by Cover Corporation. Its roster is made up of virtual streamers and performers who appear in livestreams, concerts, merchandise campaigns, and crossover promotions with other brands.

We’ll keep an eye out for the full reveal and update you when more information is announced.

ThreeZero MDLX Hyper Bomb Mega Man Pre-orders Open March 11

ThreeZero has shared a handful of images of their next entry in its MDLX Mega Man line: Hyper Bomb Mega Man. With Bomb Man’s signature weapon in hand, this one looks to be another solid addition to the line.

Hyper Bomb Mega Man stands about 4 inches (10.2 cm) tall and features around 34 points of articulation. Accessories include three faceplates, the Hyper Bomb, a Rock Buster forearm that can be swapped onto either arm, interchangeable ignited and dormant bomb fuses, and three sets of hands (open, fists, and throwing-pose).

Hyper Bomb Mega Man is expected to be available to pre-order on March 11th through the ThreeZero Store and their usual distribution partners.

Mega Man: Dual Override Robot Master Silhouettes Revealed

During today’s Capcom Spotlight, Mega Man series producer Shingo Izumi and Dual Override producer Hiroyuki Minamitani not only revealed the six finalists in the Robot Master Design Contest, but also showed the silhouettes of seven Robot Masters that the winning entry will appear alongside.

We love a good silhouette around here. They’re perfect fuel for speculation. There's a little guy on the far left, a two-headed bot, and... is that a witch and broom in the middle? A lot going on here!

Izumi and Minamitani also noted that more updates on Dual Override will be shared in the near future, so we may not have to wait long to learn their identities.

Shingo Izumi: No Current Plans for a Mega Man Legends Collection, But It's Possible

Image: ようがす

In an interview with RPG Site, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection producer Shingo Izumi was asked about the possibility of a Mega Man Legends collection, now that every other Mega Man series has been re-released on modern platforms.

RPG Site: I have to ask this. You will have now released Mega Man Legacy Collections of the Classic, X, Zero, ZX, Battle Network, and Star Force series. Only the Mega Man Legends series remains. Are you also planning to release a Mega Man Legends Legacy Collection?

Shingo Izumi: At this time, there are no plans to do so. However, as mentioned in a prior response, when we consider new collection projects in the future, a Mega Man Legends collection would also be one of the possible candidates.

While this may be a little frustrating to hear, plans can change. The demand for a hypothetical Legends Legacy Collection is certainly there. Leaving it behind feels like a missed opportunity.

For now, Izumi and his team are focused on Dual Override, so we’ll have to wait and see what the future holds.

Each character comes with a handful of new voice lines, with their respective anime voice actors reprising their roles.

It’s not yet clear how the pair are unlocked. Capcom hasn’t said whether they’ll be available from the start, unlocked in-game, or offered as DLC. In the meantime, you can see them in action in the video above!

Rockman Tennis Gets English Fan-Translation

Thanks to Muttvil and frigamarrymepls, Rockman Tennis now has an English patch, available from the Keitai World Launcher. 

Originally released in Japan in 2007 for i-mode devices, the game was preserved in 2024 and can now be played in English for the first time. Since much of the game’s text exists as image files, Muttvil went the extra mile to properly recreate and convert those assets for the translation. It even includes a localized English title screen!

Rockman Tennis features seven playable characters, each with their own stats and unique special moves. layers can compete in League Battle mode across four different cups or set up custom matches in Free Battle mode. Winning matches earns Screws, which can be spent at Rightot’s shop on various upgrades and items.
