Mega Man Is Still One Of Capcom’s “Most Important Franchises,” Company Says
The Mega Man franchise has largely been dormant since 2018 when Mega Man 11 was released. Aside from the title character’s guest appearances in Monster Hunter: World and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there haven’t been many Mega Man sightings since. However, Capcom recently addressed Mega Man’s potential future and stated that the franchise remains “important” to the company.
During a recent shareholder Q&A (via Noisy Pixel), Capcom was asked about plans for Mega Man, and a company spokesperson replied, “The Mega Man series is one of our most important IPs, and we are continuously considering ways to develop it further. However, we do not have any additional information we can share at this time.” Capcom’s representative went on to note that there is “a particularly high volume of inquiries” about Mega Man from overseas markets without elaborating any further.
The company’s latest remarks are very similar to a Mega Man update from 2024, where Capcom noted that it is “considering how to create games for it on an ongoing basis.” While the classic games in the series are readily available online, there’s been no word about any further sequels.
