Everyone loves a bit of Mega Man, and it was great to see a new entry announced at this year’s The Game Awards. Mega Man: DualOverride is the twelfth mainline title in the long-running series and is set for release on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam in 2027. A new reveal trailer revealed that the game will retain its 2D side-scrolling roots but feature 3D graphics.

It wasn’t just the unveiling of a new Mega Man game, either. This month, Capcom will host a special boss design contest for Mega Man: Dual Override. Fans will have the chance to help Dr. Wily create a brand-new Robot Master to appear in the game. Details on how to enter can be found at the contest’s official website and trailer.

In a press statement, publisher Capcom said. “In 2027, Capcom will also celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Mega Man series. The Blue Bomber first began busting bots in 1987 and instantly captivated players with rewarding gameplay, colorful characters, and rockin’ music. Since then, the franchise has sold more than 43 million units worldwide and jumped beyond the world of games into comics, TV series, and more.”
