Capcom Explains Why Dual Override Isn’t Called “Mega Man 12,” What Took So Long and More

During a livestream with Capcom Germany, Mega Man: Dual Override director Shinya Ikuta and producer Hiroyuki Minamitani sat down to answer some of fans' biggest questions about the game.

Read on for a transcript of what they had to say!

X and Zero Champion Class Blokees Revealed

Blokees' Star Force Mega Man and Zero kits just hit shelves, and we're already getting a look at what's next: X and Zero!

Shinya Ikuta Confirmed as Mega Man: Dual Override Director

The development team behind Mega Man: Dual Override continues to come into focus. During Xbox's Gamescom Day One broadcast, it was revealed that Shinya Ikuta is serving as the game's director. He appeared alongside Hiroyuki Minamitani, who was previously confirmed as the game's producer back in March.

Ikuta is a longtime Capcom developer and programmer whose history with the company stretches back to the early 1990s. He's no stranger to Mega Man, either. He worked as a programmer on Mega Man 7, Mega Man: Battle & Chase, Mega Man Battle Network 4, Rockman EXE 4.5 and Mega Man Battle Network 5, and also received a Special Thanks credit on Mega Man Zero 3.

Outside of Mega Man, Ikuta has had a hand in a pretty sizable chunk of Capcom's catalog over the years, including Onimusha, Dead Rising and Devil May Cry 4. His more recent credits include work on Monster Hunter Wilds.

Dual Override appears to be Ikuta's first time in the director's chair, but there's at least some reassurance in knowing he's not coming into Mega Man completely cold. 

Mega Man: Dual Override - More Override System Details, Switch 2 Handheld Mode at 60fps, More

V Jump has published an extensive hands-on report for Mega Man: Dual Override from Gamescom 2026, offering a deeper look at the game's newly revealed mechanics.

Most notably, the report provides additional details on how Override works, alongside a brief report on the Custom Chip System, Bolts, and the Nintendo Switch 2 version's performance in handheld mode.

Mega Man: Dual Override Direct Feed Gameplay + New Details

Gamescom is officially underway, and press are already getting hands-on with the playable Mega Man: Dual Override demo, which features Twinkle Girl’s stage from start to finish.

And that’s only scratching the surface. Early impressions have revealed a ton of new details, including how stages are split into three distinct areas, the Custom Chip System, an expanded Special Weapon system, scoring mechanics, and much more.

Capcom Updates Mega Man: Dual Override Site with More Details

Capcom has updated the official Mega Man: Dual Override website with some new details, screenshots and art. Among the updates are a few hints about Proto Man's playstyle, a glimpse of Mega Man in his casual attire, and some preliminary details on the new Custom Chip System.

Mega Man: Dual Override Screenshots - Mega Man vs. Astro Man R

On the heels of today's brand-new trailer, Capcom has released a pair of new screenshots from Mega Man: Dual Override that clue us in on a few interesting details.

First, here's a little more insight into the game's new Override System:

"Unleash power beyond your limits with Override, a new system that temporarily removes a robot's limiter to unlock extraordinary power! However, once Override ends, the strain causes a temporary drop in various abilities, so use it wisely!"

The screenshots give us a clearer look at the updated player HUD. Alongside Mega Man's HP gauge, we can see an icon indicating that he's entered the Override state, his currently equipped weapon, the Mega Buster, and his equipped Override chip, represented here by the shield icon.

Perhaps more interestingly, Mega Man is once again facing Astro Man... or rather, "Astro Man R". The "R" designation appears to be given to Robot Masters that have returned or been revived, with Astro Man's DWN number even updated to reflect his new status. This could very well mean that we'll be seeing even more legacy Robot Masters in the game.

More updates soon!

New Mega Man: Dual Override Trailer (Twinkle Girl, Proto Man and More)

Capcom has released a brand-new trailer for Mega Man: Dual Override at Gamescom 2026. The trailer showcases several new stages and features, including our first look at an all-new Robot Master, Twinkle Girl, and the return of... Astro Man?

Other highlights include Proto Man, sporting an all-new look, and a new gameplay mechanic called Custom Chips. According to Capcom, these chips can be used to "modify Mega Man's abilities and tap into overwhelming power through the new Override System."

We also have a brief story synopsis:

"Robots are running rampant at the Robot exhibition in Dr. Light's absence, and it's up to Mega Man and Proto Man to rise to the challenge to restore peace to the city. Override your limits and uncover the truth behind the incident!"

To top things off, Capcom also confirmed that a new Mega Man-themed skin pack is coming to Pragmata later this year. The costume was originally teased as an April Fool’s joke earlier this year.

We'll have more news and footage of Dual Override all this week. Stay tuned!

Mega Man and Roll Costumes Revealed for Pragmata

Capcom has announced that a set of Mega Man and Roll skins are coming to Pragmata later this year.

The Mega Man costume was first teased earlier this year as an April Fool’s joke, making its actual release a fun payoff to the gag. It also feels like a playful nod to the long-running speculation that Pragmata might somehow be connected to our favorite blue robot.

You can get a look at both skin designs above. More updates soon!

Mega Man: Gear Masters #3 Covers and Solicitation

Lunar Distribution has published the covers and solicitation for Mega Man: Gear Masters #3, giving us our latest look at the upcoming issue:

"Dr. Wily’s newest Robot Masters are running rampant across the city, and with Mega Man out of commission, someone else will have to step up and stop the destruction. 

(W) Tavis Maiden (A/CA) Ryan Jampole"

Issue #3 features covers by Ryan Jampole, Nuri Durr, Tavis Maiden and Genzoman. Worth pointing out that Tavis Maiden’s cover directly homages Shigeto Ikehara’s Rockman manga adaptation, while Genzoman continues his tradition of paying tribute to the North American NES box art.

Gear Masters #3 is due to arrive in-stores on November 25th.

Mega Man: Dual Override Confirmed for "Xbox @ Gamescom" 2026 Broadcast

We already knew Mega Man: Dual Override would be playable at Gamescom, but now fans watching from home have something to look forward to, too.

Xbox has announced that Mega Man: Dual Override will be featured during its Xbox @ Gamescom 2026 broadcast on August 26 at 10:00 AM Eastern. What exactly we'll see remains unknown. It could be a new trailer or perhaps even a live gameplay demonstration.

With the demo and Xbox broadcast both happening on August 26, it's shaping up to be a pretty busy day. We'll be keeping you posted as it all unfolds!

Mega Man X Regenesis Fan-Game Now Available to Download

Mega Man X Regenesis, a new fan-game inspired by the SNES-era Mega Man X titles, is now available as a free download.

Set in an alternate timeline following the original Mega Man X, Regenesis imagines a world where Sigma won, X fell and humanity is nearing extinction. As a last resort, Dr. Cain activates "Project Regenesis," giving X another chance to change the course of history.

It includes eight original Mavericks, new Special Weapons, armor upgrades, an achievement system and more than 25 original music tracks. Visually, it stays close to the SNES games with hand-crafted pixel art, while adding a few modern touches and extra detail.

Mega Man X Regenesis is available now for Windows, Android and Steam Deck/Linux, with a Mac version planned for later. You can check out Mega Man X Regenesis and download it here!

Review: Threezero Capsule-Dou Finger Mega Busters Vol. 1

Over the years, I’ve seen plenty of unusual Mega Man products, but never anything quite like this. As part of Threezero's Capsule-Dou line, Mega Man’s iconic Buster has been turned into a nifty set of keychains! Are they fun little accessories or just a novelty that misses the mark? Join me after the break for the Buster Breakdown.

Review: Threezero MDLX Mega Man X (Rising Fire Ver.)

Somehow, Rising Fire has become one of X's most-used alternate color schemes. From toy lines to spin-off games, it's really been making the rounds in recent years. Now, Threezero is throwing their hat into the ring of fire. 

That's right, the latest release in the company's MDLX line is Mega Man X (Rising Fire Ver.)! Is this our best Rising Fire X yet, or does it get snuffed out? Let’s find out after the break!

First Look at Mega Man in Fortnite

As anticipated, Mega Man is officially heading to Fortnite.

Epic Games has released the trailer for Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4: Override, bringing together a lineup of gaming icons, including Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, Joker from Persona 5 and, of course, Mega Man.

Mega Man Fortnite Collaboration Teased Ahead of Chapter 7 Season 4

If there was any doubt that Mega Man is coming to Fortnite, it’s quickly disappearing as the game has begun to tease the Blue Bomber ahead next season.

 A giant cartridge has appeared in-game featuring artwork that cycles between several gaming franchises every few seconds, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Pac-Man, Tetris and Mega Man.

Mega Man and Rush also appeared in a recently leaked, unfinished piece of key art for the upcoming season. Although the image was initially dismissed by some as fake or AI-generated, the released Sonic x Fortnite tie in-comic features designs that closely match those seen in the leaked key art, giving it considerably more credibility.

Epic Games has yet to formally announce the Mega Man collaboration, but at this point, the writing is on the wall. Or cartridge. More details to come soon!

Review: Kotobukiya Iris (X4 Version)

I never thought I'd see the day when we’d get an official Iris figure of any kind, but at long last, after years of near-misses, here we are.

Kotobukiya is back at it with the first-ever figure of the fan-favorite heroine, Iris! Is this the one we've all been waiting for, or is it not worth the legacy of the character? Join me after the break to see everything this model kit has going for it!

New Look at ThreeZero MDLX Bass Figure

ThreeZero has shared a new look at its upcoming MDLX Bass figure from the classic series. The figure is currently on display at Mecha Festival 2026 Osaka, which runs from August 8 through August 16 at Yodobashi Camera Multimedia Umeda in Osaka. 

Bass was originally revealed earlier this year as an unpainted prototype, but this latest showing gives us a much better look at the figure with its full color scheme in place. The design recreates his familiar black and gold appearance within ThreeZero’s MDLX style and scale.

Pricing, release date and pre-order details have not been announced yet. We’ll keep you posted!

Mega Man: Bot in the Family Kickstarter is Live and Already a Success

The Kickstarter campaign for Mega Man: Bot in the Family is officially underway, and it’s already off to a strong start.

Announced back in June, Bot in the Family is a new officially licensed Mega Man comic collection from NF Publishing, Capcom and Brawl in the Family creator Matthew Taranto. The campaign launched this week and has already successfully reached its initial funding goal, meaning the book is officially happening.

For those who missed our previous coverage, Bot in the Family is a full-color hardcover collection of original comic strips celebrating the classic series. The book will span the Blue Bomber’s history with individual chapters devoted to each of the mainline classic games, sprinkled with Taranto's wit and humor.

With the initial goal already secured, additional pledges will help push the campaign even further. So if Bot in the Family sounds like something you’d like on your shelf, check out the campaign and all of the available rewards here!

First Look at X in Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat

As previously reported, X is coming to Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat as a playable Hunter. With the collaboration seemingly set to launch tomorrow, August 6, NebulaJoy has dropped the teaser trailer above, showing X tearing through enemies to the tune of “Devil Trigger.”

To recap, the collaboration brings alternate looks for X, including his classic blue appearance, the “Tribute to the Fallen” skin unlocked through Hunter progression, and the event-based “SE DIVE VER.” skin. He’ll also wield a new weapon, the Sniper Buster.

Elsewhere, players can collect five Mega Man X-themed Runes and take part in a new event called “DiVE Deep,” featuring three story chapters and a showdown with Sigma. A new Boss Hunt opponent and additional limited-time event content are also part of the collaboration.

Udon Talks Archie Mega Man Continuation, Mega Man Legends Mini-Series and More

I recently sat down with Udon Entertainment to get answers to some of your biggest questions about the new Mega Man comics announced at Comic-Con last weekend.

From the continuation of Archie’s Mega Man series and the new Mega Man X prequel to the Mega Man Legends mini-series and more, here’s what Udon had to say.

Mega Man X DiVE and Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat Collaboration Confirmed

On the heels of yesterday’s tease, NebulaJoy has confirmed that X is joining Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat as a playable Hunter as part of the game’s Version 2.19 collaboration update.

The collaboration includes several alternate looks for X as well. Among them are his classic blue appearance, the “Tribute to the Fallen” outfit earned through Hunter progression, and the “SE DIVE VER.” skin obtainable through events.  X also comes equipped with a new weapon, the Sniper Buster, available through a dedicated Weapon Prayer. The Sniper Buster also has its own “Ultimate Blast” skin tied to weapon progression.

Players will additionally be able to collect five X-series Runes, while a new themed event titled “DiVE Deep” features three story chapters and a battle against Sigma. The update also adds a new Boss Hunt opponent and other limited-time event content.

We'll share some screenshots and gameplay as they become available. Stay tuned!

Mega Man X and Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat Collaboration Teased

NebulaJoy has released a cryptic teaser trailer for Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat that appears to hint at an upcoming collaboration with Mega Man X.

The trailer stops short of confirming whether X will join the game as a playable guest character or if the crossover will be limited to Mega Man X-inspired equipment and cosmetics.

That’s all we have to go on for now. We’ll share more details when NebulaJoy finally pulls back the curtain.

Mega Man: Gear Masters #2 Covers and Solicitation

Courtesy of Lunar Distribution, we have our first look at Mega Man: Gear Masters #2, along with the issue’s official solicitation:

Mega Man faces off against some of the most powerful Robot Masters yet, each infused with a piece of Dr. Wily’s Double Gear system! Can the Blue Bomber overcome these upgraded enemies, or will he be reduced to scrap metal?

Cover A features artwork by Ryan Jampole, Cover B is by Tavis Maiden, and Cover D is illustrated by Genzoman. Cover C is a collage of different classic series key art; no artist this time.

Mega Man: Gear Masters #2 is currently scheduled to arrive in stores on October 28.

Rockman Starter Deck Announced for Z/X Trading Card Game

Our indelible blue bomber is getting the trading card game treatment with a new collaboration planned for Z/X: Zillions of enemy X in 2027.

According to the official Z/X Twitter account, the collaboration will include a Rockman-themed Start Dash Deck, a preconstructed deck designed to help players jump into the game. The cards will be based on characters from the X, EXE and Shooting Star series. Curiously, the ZX series is absent from the lineup, despite feeling like a natural fit based on the name alone.

For those unfamiliar, Z/X: Zillions of enemy X is a Japanese collectible card game produced by Broccoli in collaboration with Nippon Ichi Software. The game launched in 2012 and pits players against one another using decks built around characters and creatures known as Z/X. A small collection of classic series cards were released several years ago, in fact!

Additional details, including the price and release date, have not been announced. More info as it comes!

With Wonder Festival Summer 2026 in full swing this weekend, Blokees was on hand to display the final, fully colored kits of its Champion Class Star Force Mega Man and Zero, giving us our best look at the pair yet.

Mega Man Legends Miniseries Announced from Udon

Announced during Udon Entertainment’s San Diego Comic-Con 2026 panel, a new Mega Man Legends miniseries is officially in the works. The project will reunite writer David Oxford and artist Mic Fong, who previously collaborated on Mega Man Legends Timelines #1.

Beyond that, Udon did not share any additional details. There is currently no artwork, release date or story synopsis. For now, the big takeaway is that Mega Man Legends is finally getting the comic treatment and the work that went into Legends Timelines #1 was not a one and done thing.

We’ll share more details as they become available! (Thank you, Matthew Low for the tip!)

Archie Mega Man Returns! Udon Announces Mega Man Adventures Chapter 56

It’s happening, folks. Udon Entertainment has officially announced that they will continue Archie Comics’ Mega Man series under the Mega Man Adventures banner.

The new comic will pick up directly after issue #55 and begin an adaptation of Mega Man 4. Future issues will carry two numbers to reflect both runs, meaning the first installment will be released as both Archie’s issue #56 and Udon’s issue #0.

The comic will be written by Ian Flynn with artwork by Chad Thomas and is currently targeting a November or December 2026 release.

More updates as they come! Thanks to Matthew Low for being our eyes and ears at the panel.

Udon Announces Mega Man X Prequel One-Shot, X2 Comic Series

Teased in the back of Mega Man X #5, Udon Entertainment formally announced two new Mega Man X comic projects at San Diego Comic-Con.

The first is Mega Man X: Dawn of Sigma, a one-shot prequel set before the events of the original Mega Man X. According to Udon, the story will explore how Zero joined the Maverick Hunters and introduce a brand-new Maverick.

Udon also announced a six-issue adaptation of Mega Man X2, planned for release later this year.

That's all the details we have for now. More updates soon! (Thank you to Matthew Low for being our eyes and ears at the panel!)

Hiya Toys Max Armor X Pre-Orders Now Available

Hot on the heels of its San Diego Comic-Con reveal, Hiya Toys has released full-color stock images of Max Armor X and opened pre-orders. Talk about a fast turnaround!

Due to ship in Q3 2027, Max Armor X stands approximately 14.7 cm tall and faithfully recreates the fan-favorite armor from Mega Man X3. The figure includes three interchangeable faceplates, six hand parts, an interchangeable X-Buster, two effect parts and a Z-Saber.

In typical Hiya Toys fashion, the figure also comes with a separate magnetic Hiya badge that interacts with the X-Buster. Bringing the badge close activates three lighting modes: flashing, breathing and steady. Together, they recreate the effect of X charging his weapon before firing.

Pre-orders are currently available directly through Hiya Toys and Big Bad Toystore.

Mega Man Mondo Squad Figures Announced

Mondo has secured the license to produce a new line of classic series Mega Man figures under its Mondo Squad banner, the company announced during its San Diego Comic-Con panel.

The initial wave will focus on members of the Light family, including Mega Man, Roll, Rush and... Tango! Yessir, Tango in the big 2027.

Mondo Squad figures are typically sold as a set and come with a variety of accessories. Additional details, including pricing, a specific release date and exactly what will be included, have yet to be announced.

Udon Brings New Mega Man Pins to San Diego Comic-Con

Udon Entertainment is bringing a whole lot of Mega Man pins to San Diego Comic-Con later this week, available exclusively at booth #100.

The lineup includes a series of seven Metall pins, Mega Man Legends “Petite Fighter” pins, and perhaps most interesting of all, a selection of classic series pins featuring brand-new artwork by Keisuke Mizuno. Mizuno’s Bass is especially nice to see, since he doesn’t draw him very often.

The majority of the pins will be priced at $15 each. You can see what all of the pins look like here. 

Udon Teases Archie Mega Man Comic Revival with Mysterious “56”

Udon Entertainment appears to be teasing a long-awaited continuation of Archie Comics’ Mega Man series.

Director of Publishing Matt Moylan tweeted an image featuring the number “56” presented in the traditional Mega Man stage-select style, along with the message, “Announcement coming at San Diego Comic-Con.” The implication seems fairly clear: Archie’s original series ended with issue #55, and Udon may be preparing to pick things up with a brand-new issue #56.

Nothing has been formally announced yet, but this would continue Udon’s ongoing efforts to bring Archie’s Mega Man comics back. The publisher is already reprinting the series under the new Mega Man Adventures label, which also includes new material from members of the original creative team.

Archie’s Mega Man came to an abrupt end in 2015, leaving several storylines unfinished. Fans have spent more than a decade hoping the series might someday return. 

We’ll learn more at Comic-Con!

MDLX Ice Slasher Mega Man Revealed (Convention Exclusive)

That may still be a ways off, but Hiya Toys has released plenty of images to tide us over until then.

MDLX Black Zero Revealed, ACGHK and ChinaJoy 2026 Exclusive

Threezero has announced an MDLX Black Zero figure, but much to the disappointment of many collectors, its release will be extremely limited.

According to Threezero, the figure will be available in limited quantities at ACGHK 2026 and ChinaJoy 2026 on a first-come, first-served basis. At this time, there are no plans for a wider release, nor any indication that the figure will appear at events more accessible to fans in other regions.

Accessories include a Black Zero Buster forearm, two interchangeable faceplates and three pairs of interchangeable hands. Alongside his signature Z-Saber, Mega Man X5-style blades and Z-Saber effect part, the set also includes two blades based on Zero’s appearance in Mega Man X6.

We’ll keep you posted if anything changes down the line.

Mega Man X #5 San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Variant Revealed

Heading to Comic-Con later this month? Be sure to stop by Udon Entertainment’s booth (#100) to pick up an exclusive Mega Man X #5 variant cover.

Blokees Star Force Mega Man, Zero Will Release in Next 6-8 Weeks

Blokees’ Champion Class Star Force Mega Man and Zero model kits are currently on display at BotCon, and according to a company representative, they’re coming soon. Very soon.

Although the representative could not share an exact release date, they told a Rockman Corner correspondent that both kits are targeting a launch within the next six to eight weeks. That would place their release sometime in late August or September.

The representative also confirmed that each kit will consist of approximately 120 pieces and retail for between $25 and $30.

Mega Man: Dual Override Tokyo Game Show 2026 Gold Medal Revealed

While Capcom has yet to officially confirm that Mega Man: Dual Override will appear at Tokyo Game Show 2026 this September, the signs are certainly beginning to point in that direction.

To commemorate Tokyo Game Show’s 30th anniversary, the Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA) has announced a limited-edition collection of six pure gold, 24-karat medals engraved with characters and logos from a select group of franchises, including Mega Man as he appears in Dual Override.

The collection also includes a ticket granting admission to all three days of the show. It will set you back a staggering 3.3 million yen, or roughly $20,440 USD.

Kotobukiya Zero 1st Ver. Limited Edition Revealed (Updated)

Kotobukiya is bringing back Zero 1st Version with a fresh coat of paint — literally.

This new Limited Edition release swaps the original colors for pearlescent and metallic finishes, recreating Zero’s charged-up appearance. To complete the look, the kit also includes an all-new Spiral Crush Buster effect part, which Kotobukiya touts as the largest effect part in its Mega Man X model kit lineup to date.

That’s not all. The included face parts feature newly adjusted eye directions, offering a little more variety for posing. The leg joints have also been updated, with two sets included in the box. These can be used to upgrade Mega Man X Zero, Zero Nightmare Ver., and Black Zero kits.

Zero 1st Version Limited Edition is expected to ship in January 2027. Pre-orders are currently available directly from Kotobukiya, with additional retailers likely to follow soon. UPDATE: Big Bad Toystore pre-orders are open!

Udon's Dr. Wily #1 Delayed to August 5th

Originally scheduled to arrive at comic shops this week, Udon Entertainment’s standalone Dr. Wily #1 issue has been delayed to Wednesday, August 5th. The update comes via Udon’s official Discord channel.

As a refresher, 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!

Pre-orders for Dr. Wily #1 are still available through the Udon Store, so you’ve got a little extra time to secure your copy.

Kotobukiya Grande Scale Mega Man Revealed (Updated)

After last week's teaser, Kotobukiya has officially revealed their next Grande Scale model kit: Mega Man from Mega Man 11.

Much like Kotobukiya's previous Grande Scale releases, this is essentially the standard Mega Man 11 kit scaled up. Once built, it stands an impressive 250mm tall — about 9.8 inches — and includes the same articulation, accessories, and interchangeable parts as the original release.

The kit is expected to ship in November. Pre-orders begin today directly through Kotobukiya, with other retailers likely to follow shortly. We'll keep you posted as those listings go live. UPDATE: Up at Hobby Link Japan and Big Bad Toystore.

Mattson Tomlin Says He’s No Longer Involved With Live Action Mega Man Movie

The long-in-development live action Mega Man movie has received a rare update, though not a definitive one. Screenwriter Mattson Tomlin, who was reportedly attached to the project, recently responded to a fan asking whether the script was still moving forward or had been quietly cancelled.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Official Soundtrack Now Available on Steam

Capcom has added the official Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Original Soundtrack to Steam as a standalone digital purchase.

Available for $29.99, the release packs in 121 tracks across four discs in both FLAC and MP3 formats. While Steam can play the music directly through its built-in music player, the files can also be moved and used outside the client.

The bulk of the soundtrack is dedicated to the Kizuna Re:mix arrangements featured throughout the collection, covering all three games. The remaining pieces includes music made for the collection’s menus, tracks tied to the Geo and Omega-Xis model pack DLC, and the “Shooting Star” remix heard in the game’s promo trailers.

It's also worth pointing out that, unfortunately, the original Nintendo DS versions of the Star Force tracks are not included, and neither is the separate Battle Network music DLC.

Hiya Toys Wants Your Pick for Its Next High-End Mega Man Figure

Hiya Toys is asking Mega Man fans who they’d like to see join the company’s figure lineup next.

A new survey is now live, letting fans vote for their most-wanted character from across the franchise. The current choices include characters from the classic, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man X, and Battle Network series. Every one who votes gets entered into a raffile to win a Exquisite Series X figure.

Kotobukiya Possibly Teasing Dual Override or Grande Scale Mega Man Kit

Kotobukiya appears to be teasing a new Mega Man kit on Twitter, and the image above points to one especially notable detail: a significantly larger Mega Buster compared to the standard-sized one included with their previously released Mega Man 11 model kit.

At first glance, this could simply be teasing a larger classic Mega Man kit, possibly even a “Grande Scale” version of Mega Man 11 Mega Man. But with the Mega Buster noticeably larger in the key art for Dual Override, it’s hard not to wonder if Kotobukiya is hinting at something tied to the new game.

Whatever Kotobukiya is teasing here, the wording of their tweet makes it sound like pre-orders may be opening sooner than later. We’ll keep an eye out for the official reveal.

Mega Man: Gear Masters #1 Shantae Cosplay Variant Revealed

Pre-orders are now live for Udon Entertainment’s Mega Man: Gear Masters #1, including the previously revealed Roll and Tango variant, available exclusively through the Udon Store.
