In a press release today, Capcom confirmed the release date of the next installment in the Mega Man series, Mega Man 11, in celebration of the series’ 30th anniversary. The new title is said to blend the classic side-scrolling action gameplay with some new features like the all-new Double Gear system and a fresh new look.

​

In the events of Mega Man 11, long-time mustachioed series villain Dr. Wily is back to his mischievous ways and has had a true flash of evil genius, deciding to invest in an ambitious idea from his time at Robot University where he studied alongside Dr. Light, Mega Man’s benevolent creator. Dr. Light, who also recalls this inventive idea, decides to upgrade Mega Man with this powerful prototype known as the Double Gear system, installing it into his circuits and expanding his abilities for the greatest fight yet for everlasting peace.

In the press release, Capcom gave some details about the new Double Gear system which offers options to enhance Mega Man’s speed and power on the fly.

• Speed Gear - Introduces the ability to slow the flow of time, a useful tool for many situations such as navigating tricky platforming sections or avoiding fast-moving enemies or obstacles.

• Power Gear - Allows players to charge the Mega Buster to a new level, and weapon-based abilities become even more robust.

• Double Gear - When at critical health, Mega Man will gain access to a hidden ability to activate both gears simultaneously, unleashing maximum power and allowing for deft maneuvers in the direst situations.

Mega Man 11 hits the PlayStation 4 , Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC on October 2, 2018.

So...late T.T

Still looks better than the garbage overhyped Might No. 9.

I'm a huge Mega Man fan ...and I'm disappointed. Is he really going to shout with every charged Mega Buster shot? It doesn't look bad, but not amazing.

How about Capcom does something non-"modern Capcom" and revives Mega Man Legends 3?

Thanks! At the time of the press release, they did not make the new trailer live. I'll update now

The art style feels so bland and generic. Soulless piece of software, begone! You don't belong in this world.

I'm better off playing Bloodstained Curse of the Moon.

 

[Seelbreaker]

Oh wow and i was like - Hell yeah - we gonna see Zero????

but nope its just a red Gear

 

[Clydefrosch]

gear system means this uses too many buttons for my tastes.

Yeah man, they should totally make ANOTHER 8-bit mega man reboot of the series.

 

[Maximilious]

Unlike others here I'm excited for this release. It's not a big change like MM7 was, and movement makes it look like it will play like the originals. The double-gear system makes me excited to see how speed-runners will tackle this title. Some other pre-order material may have been nice other than an alternate soundtrack, like a protoman skin or alternate character, but that's probably being saved for future DLC.

 

[DarthDub]

A new Mega Man after 8 years..I'm stoked.

 

[KiiWii]

Need dat amiibo
