I'm still on cloud nine over Capcom's Mega Man: Dual Override reveal. When my colleagues and I were providing live coverage of The Game Awards 2025, we all watched that first third or so of the announcement trailer in growing suspense as the camera motioned its way through a vault. When the Blue Bomber appeared, no one squealed harder than me - not by a long shot.
Capcom has never been stronger, but it's the franchises that are clearly second-tier, or even extinct, that have always resonated with me the most. Mega Man, Ace Attorney, Onimusha (heck yes, that's coming back as well). Breath of Fire is my #1, but the studio's home-grown JRPG series is clearly deader than a door nail. Otherwise, I'm happy. Mega Man, baby.
And who else might we see when Dual Override arrives in 2027...?
Rockman Corner has been the leading English-speaking Mega Man fansite for nearly 20 years and counting. When they've got a scoop, it's worth taking a look. And while this isn't really a scoop, per se, it's a tantalizing rumour regarding a beloved character whose name was infamously mispronounced back in Mega Man 8.
Only the good die...
