The Blue Bomber Returns In 2027 With Mega Man: Dual Override
Well, here’s something that also wasn’t on my The Game Awards Bingo Card. In an unexpected appearance, Capcom has announced that Mega Man is finally getting a brand-new video game after 7 years since his last mainline game.
Yes, you read right, the Blue Bomber is back for an all-new adventure with Mega Man: Dual Override.
Mega Man: Dual Override Arrives in 2027
Per the press release, here’s our early info about it:
“The twelfth mainline installment in the classic Mega Man™ series. The iconic franchise will make its highly anticipated return in 2027 when the all-new action platformer launches for Nintendo Switch™ 2, Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5 (PS5®), PlayStation®4 (PS4®), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.”
There will also be a Mega Man: Dual Override design contest “where fans will have the chance to help Dr. Wily create a brand-new Robot Master to appear in the game.” For details on how to enter, check out the contest’s official website.
My god, it’s beautiful. Capcom said they were going to do it, but I didn’t believe it! Sure, personally I would have preferred a new Mega Man X, but that’s me, and I ain’t going to complain about having a new Mega Man game. The publisher did confirm that we’ll see new entries in Mega Man, Devil May Cry and the Ace Attorney franchises, but we didn’t expect an announcement this soon.
At the moment, Capcom has yet to release any additional details, other than that it’s releasing in 2027 on the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
