Mega Man: Dual Override

Mega Man Dual Override Ben Diskin

Mega Man: Dual Override is finally bringing back Mega Man with a brand new game, but it’ll have a key change since Ben Diskin won’t be reprising his role as the Blue Bomber.

Diskin took to social media and shared the news with a lengthy statement. While Capcom wanted him to return, it came with the condition that he “work without the protections of a union contract.” 

Given the state of AI currently, Diskin felt it would be too much of a risk to come back for Mega Man: Dual Override, even though there would apparently be certain protections in place. He would only move forward with a union contract, but that wasn’t something Capcom was up for.

The full statement reads:

We have a brief update on Mega Man: Dual Override, as Capcom has now teased the game’s Robot Masters. The image above, coming from the new Capcom Spotlight presentation, shows their silhouettes.

Recently, Capcom held a fan contest in which fans were able to submit designs for a Robot Master. The six winners were announced today, pictured below.

Mega Man Dual Override

Capcom is making Mega Man Dual Override for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, the company just revealed. The project is lined up for 2027.

Given how far away the game is, it’s not surprising that we don’t have much information currently. The tagline reads: “Mega Man returns in 2027 with a brand-new entry in the classic action platforming series! Override challenges and blast down legions of robots while springboarding across a new array of futuristic frontiers!”

Take a look at the first trailer for Mega Man: Dual Override below.
