Mega Man's 35th Anniversary Could See A New Game Announcement

With the Mega Man35th anniversary approaching in December 2022, Capcom may likely be prepping a new Mega Man title on the horizon. Capcom typically is keen on celebrating anniversaries (within a year of them at least) and Capcom's mascot hitting the big thirty-five is undoubtedly an anniversary to prepare for. While nothing has explicit confirmation, there are enough breadcrumbs to lead some to believe that Capcom may be sitting on/developing some Mega Man projects that are inching closer to release.

Mega Man is a bit of a jack of all trades and has had several mainline series encompassing several genres – many that never met their conclusions. The most famous two are the mainline Mega Man series, which spans 11 games, and the Mega Man X series, which weaved a somewhat continuous narrative that ended on a cliffhanger at the end of its eighth mainline entry. In recent years, these two series have been absent, with the gap between Mega Man 10 and 11 spanning eight years between them, and the last new entry for the X series releasing in 2004. But Capcom's train of legacy Mega Man compilations, such as the Mega Man Zero andZX Collections, and their solid sales performances in the previous few years may have re-opened the door to new entries in the series. But more importantly, it's the clues left by Capcom — both intentionally and not — that shed the most light on what's next for the blue bomber.
