Multiple New Mega Man Games Reportedly in Development

A new report has claimed that longtime Japanese video game publisher Capcom is developing multiple new games tied to its long-running Mega Man series. While Mega Man has been an iconic video game character for over three decades, new entries associated with “The Blue Bomber” have been far and...

In a new report from an insider by the name of Zippo, Capcom is said to be developing three new Mega Man games at this point in time. Further details on the nature of these games weren't detailed, but it was said that each of the three projects are independent from the forthcoming Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection which is set to release in 2023. Furthermore, Zippo theorizes that Capcom could look to hold some sort of showcase in the future to coincide with the 35th anniversary of Mega Man, which launched back in December 1987. While there's no guarantee that this will happen, it could be feasible given that Capcom has held similar presentations throughout 2022.

Capcom best developer in the game.

11 was a very good game.
X is a different beast. 5, 6 and 7 are simply not good games. The series went too anime with Zero and Axl and all the other characters, and the design got ugly very fast. I'm not sure I want a X9 in the same line.
A Legends collection is highly overdue after all the collections they've put out since the previous gen.

YES
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
YES

Who cares about Mega Man, gives us Dragon's Dogma 2 already

I CARE

X is a different beast.

Please explain what you mean by "different beast".

If "different beast" = one of the best games of all time, then cool!

Someday....

Everyone’s hoping for Legends, but I’m hoping for that cancelled first person game to return.

Mega Man Battle network mobile loot game
Mega Man Star Force legacy collection
Mega Man endless runner on mobile

Ok, maybe one of those won't happen because last year Capcom said they were working on a Mega man game they were projecting to sell over 2 million units for the first time in franchise history. Unless it's a mobile game, but if it's retail maybe that game is one of the 3 games.

But i expect the other two to be mobile.

Wasn’t zippo exposed as a faker?

How have I never heard of, or seen this? It's giving me Bomberman: Act Zero vibes, lmao.

I'm all for new Mega Man games. Lord knows the Blue Bomber deserves some good ones.

I think I have every single Megaman game on the xbox, I played through Megaman X1 & X2 and now I'm sick of the series.

I was really pumped up to get into the games, maybe I'll get round to X3 onwards one day.

I do quite like the look of the advance zero games.

& I have 11 as well.

(I had a quick go on original Megaman 1 and remembered I hated the game on my cousin's nes back in the day) :')

 

[Nautilus]

Oh its a rumor... and from Zippo, which is a shaky leaker as far as I remember.

Capcom is certainly making a new Megaman game. They just bought domains for Megaman 12,13 and 14. But this tells us nothing and honestly, resembles more a fool's hope than anything else.

 

[F0rneus]

Mega Man 11 is the best selling game in the classic series. Not making a sequel would be dumb.

It was supposed to be a Metroid Prime-like FPS Megaman game with Doom Eternal-like finishers.

I think it has all of the right ideas but the wrong art style.

Yeah, I wished they would revisit this. The idea was so good, but from the graphical side, they thought that making it realistic(Megaman looked like a normal robot. Why?), with freaking guns in ots hand instead of the X Buster.

The artistic and graphical side was all wrong, but the design, execution and ambition was on the right track.

She's dead.
