Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Legends Timelines Delayed to January 14th

Contrary to earlier reports, Mega Man is not dropping January 7th. 

Udon Entertainment has confirmed that Mega Man Legends Timelines and Mega Man ZX Timelines have been delayed once again, now scheduled for release on Wednesday, January 14. Both issues are expected to arrive the same day as Mega Man X #0.

According to Matt Moylan, the delay was due to a miscommunication between the printer and distributor. As a result, the comics did not arrive in time for the planned January 7 release ahead of the distributor’s holiday break. The books have effectively been finished and sitting ready for the past two weeks.

Cancelled Project - Mega Man & Capcom Golf (2018)

Before its closure in 2018, Capcom Vancouver was home to several projects that never saw the light of day. In the years following the release of Dead Rising 4, the studio explored a number of concepts in pre-production, including an unusual and previously undocumented title: a golf game featuring the Blue Bomber.

Mega Man: Fully Charged 2D Pilot Episode Surfaces

What better way to kick off the new year than with a piece of found media? The long-lost 2D pilot episode of Mega Man: Fully Charged, produced by Man of Action (Ben 10, Generator Rex) and animated by Film Roman, has surfaced at last. Until now, only brief snippets had been seen nearly a decade ago, before the project was retooled by DHX Media / WildBrain Studios into a CG-animated series.

The 21-minute pilot showcases a number of differences from the final series, spanning animation style, character designs, voice acting, music, and even a slightly heavier tone. Where Fully Charged ultimately skewed toward very young viewers, this pilot feels more squarely aimed at an elementary to middle school audience.

We know a fair amount about Fully Charged’s production history, including early plans for a second season, but the reason it moved from traditional animation to CG has never really been explained. For now, all we can do is speculate.

Geoff Keighley Shares the Story Behind Mega Man: Dual Override's TGA Reveal

Mega Man: Dual Override's announcement at The Game Awards this year came as a surprise, landing less than 48 hours after Capcom publicly spoke about expanding the Mega Man IP. And to take us back to that moment again, Geoff Keighley has shared on Instagram how the reveal came together.

Reminder - Mega Man: Dual Override Boss Design Contest Ends in Three Days

It feels like just yesterday the campaign was announced, but now we’re officially in the final stretch. The Mega Man: Dual Override Robot Master Boss Design Contest is set to wrap up on January 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST. After that point, submissions will close for good and anything sent in late will not be considered.

If you haven't entered yet, it's important to carefully read the submission rules (here). While the contest has received an enormous number of entries, even exceeding Capcom’s expectations, I have personally seen several submissions shared online that do not qualify because they violented a rule or two. One of the most common issues has been AI-generated art, which Capcom has explicitly called out as not being allowed.

A common response I hear regarding AI submissions is, “I’m using AI because I can’t draw.” The truth is, that does not matter. Historically, winning Robot Master and Net Navi designs have been sketched on paper using little more than crayons or pencils, often by children. The contest has never been about artistic polish. It's about the idea behind the design. The winning entry helps inform the final in-game design. So if you have a concept in mind, do not overthink it. Put it on paper and go for it!

New Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection Gameplay From Capcom TV

The latest episode of Capcom TV featured a dedicated segment on Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, with a hands-on demo led by producer Shingo Izumi alongside Rockman Unity's Ucchy-san.

More Secret Level Mega Man Concept Art From Mauro Belfiore

Another batch of Secret Level Mega Man concept art has been shared by Mauro Belfiore, who previously posted several pieces last year. The Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse artist explained that these illustrations were created during the episode’s early exploration phase, when the team was experimenting to define a visual style.

Among the new material are both “anime-style” and more “realistic” passes, along with explorations of a battle-damaged Mega Man, which was previously seen in storyboards for a deleted scene.
