Mega Man: Dual Override Revealed at The Game Awards

Written by Brandon Hofer on December 12, 2025

News: A new Mega Man adventure is on the way for all platforms and is slated to be released in 2027.

One of the big announcements at the 2025 Game Awards was from Capcom when they unveiled Mega Man’s next adventure. Mega Man: Dual Override is the twelfth mainline installment in the Mega Man series. It is currently slated to arrive in 2027 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.

This month, Capcom will host a special boss design contest for Mega Man: Dual Override 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 and trailer.

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.

To celebrate the reveal, Mega Man 11 will receive a special discount on digital storefronts over the coming days. For a limited time, players can look forward to picking up the acclaimed title on sale for under $5 USD via the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Xbox Store, and Steam. Mega Man 11 is also expanding its arsenal of language options. Brazilian Portuguese and Latin American Spanish speakers can look forward to new localizations in an update going live later tonight.
