Phew
For years I waited for aMega Manrevival, and Capcom delivered withMega Man 11. It wasn’t just nominal, either: I really enjoyed11and thought that it served as a great jumping off point for newcomers while simultaneously preserving what made the series so special in the first place. The thing is Capcom has been mostly nebulous on how it’s performed, until now.
As part of their latest financial briefing “for the nine months ended June 29, 2025,” Capcom finally tells us what they think of the latestMega Manentries and the news seems promising. The publisher is reporting “strong sales” forMega Man 11(on top of boasting once again at how greatMonster Hunter: Worldis doing, stating thatStreet Fighter 30th Anniversary Collectionis doing “strongly” and noting that theOnimusharemaster is “off to a good start”) and re-iterates that theMega Man X Legacy Collections(both 1+2) “performed well” as a result of a “dedicated fan base” (the same sentiment they shared on the collections in October).
Now we already knew that there wasa newMega Manprojectin the planning stages (or well underway) and theXserieshas gotten multiple revival hints. Still, it’s nice to know that the follow-up likely won’t be getting a shoestring budget:Mega Manis back.
