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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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