Capcom Considers Future Directions for Mega Man Franchise

Capcom continues to explore new possibilities for its beloved Mega Man series. Despite the absence of new mainline games since the release of Mega Man 11 in 2018, Capcom assures fans that the Blue Bomber remains a significant focus for the company.

Mega Man’s Importance to Capcom

During Capcom’s 45th Shareholders meeting, the company reaffirmed Mega Man’s status as one of their “highly-valued IPs.” Capcom is consistently considering new ways to create games for this iconic character. This commitment was reiterated in response to questions about the future of Mega Man, especially in light of the recent Capcom Super Elections, which highlighted the franchise’s enduring popularity.

Mega Man enthusiasts have expressed concerns about the franchise’s future, given the lack of new releases. Capcom’s recent statements provide some reassurance. The company acknowledges the challenges in finding the right path forward but remains dedicated to the series. They are continuously exploring ideas to bring fresh experiences to fans.

While fans wait for new developments, Capcom’s ongoing consideration of Mega Man’s future suggests that the franchise is far from forgotten. The addition of Mega Man’s Game Boy titles to the Switch Online service in June is a testament to the character’s lasting appeal.
