Luminasta MegaMan.EXE Falzar Beast Coming in Early 2027

On the heels of the MegaMan.EXE Gregar Beast figure announced in June, Sega Plaza has revealed that a Luminasta Falzar Beast figure is coming in February 2027. The figure will make its debut in UFO catcher machines across Japan before becoming available online for international markets.

The figure's size has yet to be confirmed, but we can likely expect it to scale closely with Gregar, which stands approximately 17cm tall.

Online preorders should begin soon. We'll update this post with more info as it becomes available!

The 50-minute presentation will begin at 10:30 AM JST, or 8:30 PM CST on September 20, and will feature guest Akari Nibu (“Nibuchan”) trying the game for the first time. She will be joined by Mega Man series producer Shingo Izumi, Dual Override producer Hiroyuki Minamitani, and Rockman Unity’s very own Ucchy-san.

It’s currently unknown whether the demo have Mega Man, Proto Man, or both playable.

Mega Man: Dual Override Achievements Leaked (Beware Spoilers)

Something appears to be amiss on Steam's backend, with achievements for several unreleased and even unannounced games surfacing on Exophase, a site that tracks Steam achievements. Among them is the complete achievement list for Mega Man: Dual Override, despite the game still being a long way from release.

I won't post the achievements directly here, as they spoil the names of the Robot Masters and other features that have not yet been announced by Capcom. If you want to go into Dual Override completely blind, or simply wait for Capcom to reveal these details on its own terms, be advised that the spoilers are now out there. Major spoiler warning.

LEGO Mega Man, X and Zero Revealed for Fortnite

Mega Man and LEGO are finally collaborating, though perhaps not in the way many fans expected. In addition to the handful of cosmetics coming to Fortnite, officially licensed LEGO versions of Mega Man, X and Zero will also be available later this week.

The LEGO skins can be used in LEGO Fortnite's survival and crafting mode, as well as standard Fortnite Creative or custom modes that support LEGO skins.

All in all, it's great to see Mega Man and LEGO finally doing something together, and hopefully this is a precursor to more collaborations down the road. While not every LEGO skin featured in Fortnite has a corresponding real-world set or kit, some do, so perhaps physical Mega Man LEGO could be in the cards someday.

Junko Karashima Confirmed as Mega Man: Dual Override Sound Director

In a new interview with Nintendo Everything, members of the development team confirmed that Junko Karashima is serving as sound director, seemingly taking over the role from Mega Man 11 sound director Ryo Oshii. Karashima has a lengthy list of credits spanning numerous Dance Dance Revolution and beatmania titles, and more recently directed and composed music for Mega Man X DiVE.

When asked who is composing the music for Dual Override, the team did not reveal any individual composers just yet, but they did speak about Karashima’s role and the expectations surrounding the soundtrack:

"What we can say at this point is the sound director of Mega Man: Dual Override is Junko Karashima. She is someone who respects the music of all the other past Mega Man games and understands that there are high expectations and how important music is for a game like Mega Man: Dual Override. The goal is to maintain the things that remain important in a Mega Man game we’re hoping people are really excited for the music in Mega Man: Dual Override."

Nintendo Everything’s full interview with the development team covers several other topics about the game, so be sure to give the full piece a read!

Mega Man X: Command Mission Coming to PlayStation Plus

During today's State of Play, Sony has announced that Mega Man X: Command Mission is finally getting a re-release as part of the growing PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog. The game will arrive sometime later this year for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. 

Notably, this will mark the very first re-release of Command Mission since its original launch on PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube in 2004. More than 20 years later!

Sony hasn't announced a specific release date just yet, or if you can purchase the game individually. We'll have more details as they become available!

Blokees "Mega Man: Dimension Cross" Appears in Early Retail Listing

An early retail listing has surfaced for what appears to be a new Blokees Mega Man release titled Mega Man: Dimension Cross. The listing is a blind box of kits under this new Dimension Cross line, with the Mega Man inside being a "Galaxy Version" variant.

At the moment, the listing doesn't provide any images or details about what the kit will actually include. The "Dimension Cross" name is interesting, though, and could potentially point toward a lineup featuring different versions of Mega Man from across the franchise -- classic, X, EXE, etc. That's purely speculation for now, however.

Blokees' Galaxy S Series kits typically stand approximately 11–12 cm (4–4.7 inches) tall, so we can at least get a general idea of the scale.

For now, we'll have to wait and see what Blokees has planned. Given that it's expected to ship in November, an official reveal could be around the corner.

Mega Man: Dual Override Confirmed for Tokyo Game Show 2026

Capcom has announced its Tokyo Game Show 2026 lineup and, sure enough, Mega Man: Dual Override is among the games making an appearance.

While Capcom has not confirmed whether Dual Override will have another publicly playable demo at the show, the game will be featured during a 40-minute Capcom Spotlight presentation on September 16 at 7:00 a.m. PT / 3:00 p.m. BST.

Capcom hasn't revealed exactly what we'll see during the presentation, but hopes are naturally running high for our first look at Proto Man gameplay, and perhaps even the winner of the Robot Master Boss Design Contest.

In addition to the game's appearance at the show, Capcom will be selling a handful of Dual Override merchandise. Most of the lineup was previously revealed, including the Override System hoodie, and tote bags, but there's one notable new addition: a Proto Man version of the "Sound PITA KEY." The NFC-enabled keychain can be scanned with a compatible device to unlock an AR-style Proto Man image for photos, along with music and sound effects from Dual Override.

We'll be keeping a close eye on everything coming out of Tokyo Game Show, so stay tuned!

Shingo Izumi Says Capcom Would ‘Definitely Love’ to Revisit Mega Man X

Game Informer has published a new interview with Mega Man producer Shingo Izumi and Dual Override producer Hiroyuki Minamitani, and tucked away near the end is a small but encouraging comment about the future of the Mega Man X series

When asked whether he would be open to revisiting the series, Shingo Izumi said, "From my perspective, yes, that is something we would definitely love to visit."

"Mega Man X is an important series within the Mega Man brand," he continued. "We definitely value that series, and if there is a chance, we would always love to consider that."

It's not confirmation that a new Mega Man X title is in development, of course. But with Mega Man X8 still standing as the last new mainline entry more than 20 years later, it's certainly nice to hear the current series producer say the series is still valued and something Capcom would like to revisit.

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, including a few that have been on our minds since the game was first revealed.

Read on for the transcript!

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.
