Mega Man: Dual Override Will Be Playable At Gamescom

Capcom announced today that it will return to Gamescom, the world’s largest gaming event, when the show kicks off in Cologne on August 26. This will also mark the first time that Mega Man: Dual Override will be playable by the public.

In addition, throughout the show Capcom will host several live streams in English, while German audiences will be able to watch daily broadcasts produced and presented by Rocket Beans TV. With that much coverage planned, there’s a very good chance we’ll see new gameplay footage from the game during the event.

Stay tunned for more updates!

  1. Here it comes. In this broken industry of live services, season passes, and microtransactions, the next Mega Man will always be one of the few games that's safe to look forward to. It'll either be great or it won't come out at all.

    Do we know what happened with the voice actors though? Last I heard, their union issued a stop work order because Capcom was trying to do something weaselly with genAI.

    1. Get a job. Greedy artists have been weaselling their way in life for years. Their days are over. Welcome to the 20s.

    2. I don't think voice acting is a particularly high-paying job unless you're super amazing and in high-demand...

    3. If AI does it better and cheaper, then good, I hope it is used, and competition wins in the end. Tired of the technophobia lately, especially since this is Megaman, which is all about robots and AI. It's the future, whether some pesky regressive non-competitive old-fashioned inefficient unions or individuals like it or not. It isn't tech that is the issue, but our economic system that needs updated new deal style as tech races ahead. Unions never seem to fight for systemic changes like a better HC system or safety nets, but like preserving the status quo cog in the wheel rat race, even holding consumers hostage with strikes which will only encourage automation faster. They can't compete with automated non-unions that are better for customers.

      Tech is one critical ingredient to making it affordable (and forcing us) to evolve our econ model since , including better safety nets and reducing work week length (still need consumers to keep it going as labor for income decouples), and even lowering costs of living with adequate competition or allowing for more goods and services to be produced, or even getting more goods and services with the same or less tax dollars, and even needed to compete with other nations and China.

      I like futurism. If one doesn't like better tech, they can live in the mountains or go live in the low tech poverty-stricken Congo or Zimbabwe (technophobe paradise). The 1st world isn't for them. We need to evolve and enter a new age and past our existing primitive era, and this is coming from someone born in the early 80s.

  5. Huh, surprising that we're getting a playable build when so little has been shown. No complaints though! Hopefully a downloadable demo is released shortly after
