Hiya Toys has rolled out a handful of new images of Exquisite Basic Series Zero, which is now on track to release in Q1 2027 (anywhere between January to March 2027). The figure stands at 15CM tall, faithfully recreating his second armor appearance first introduced in Mega Man X2.

Another batch of Secret Level Mega Man concept art has been shared by Mauro Belfiore, who previously posted several pieces last year. The Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse artist explained that these illustrations were created during the episode’s early exploration phase, when the team was experimenting to define a visual style.
Among the new material are both “anime-style” and more “realistic” passes, along with explorations of a battle-damaged Mega Man, which was previously seen in storyboards for a deleted scene.
Although Capcom Japan promptly confirmed a physical release for Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, Capcom US and other English-language branches made no mention of it in their pre-order materials, which raised some concern. However, it looks like there's nothing to worry about after all.
Canadian retailers Video Game Plus and PnP Games have opened pre-orders for physical editions on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, with both listings pointing to a March 27, 2026 release alongside the digital version. UPDATE: Amazon pre-orders are live! Switch here, PlayStation 5 here.
It’s possible Capcom US simply wasn’t ready to share those details yet, suggesting these are early retailer listings. More stores should begin offering pre-orders in the near future.
Keep your eyes peeled!
To commemorate the release date announcement of Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, Capcom has uploaded the first episode of the Star Force anime to their YouTube channel. This marks the first time the English dub has been available digitally since it was pulled from Hulu in the mid-2010s.
The original Japanese version has also been made available on Capcom Japan's YouTube channel. There are no official English subtitles, so viewers will have to rely on auto-translate.
Capcom will upload additional episode every Wednesday at 1:00 AM PST for a limited time. You can keep tabs on that with the official playlist here.
Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection releases March 27th, 2026 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, and PC. Pre-orders are now available.

You didn't forget about Star Force Legacy Collection, did you? Taking a brief pause from the Mega Man: Dual Override hype, Capcom has announced Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection will launch on March 27th, 2026. A physical version has been confirmed for Japan, but there's currently no news about the U.S or other regions.
You can watch the announcement trailer above (featuring our first look at English voice acting) and the official press release below!

Mega Man 11 received a small update the other day that added support for Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, improving accessibility for a broader audience. That alone is good news, but the update also included an interesting detail that's easy to miss.

There’s little doubt that voice work on Mega Man: Dual Override is already underway. Dr. Light, voiced by Doug Stone, can be briefly heard in the live version of the reveal trailer. Now, it appears we may have both further confirmation of ongoing voice production and an early hint at a returning fan-favorite character, thanks to an unexpected source.
Fresh from Capcom's Pres Room, please enjoy some high resolution art and screenshots from Mega Man: Dual Override!
For the first time in decades, Capcom has announced a new Robot Master design contest for the brand-new, 12th entry in the classic series: Mega Man Dual Override.
Taking a page from Mega Man 8’s history, the challenge this time is to design a Robot Master with a clear prompt: a robot who wields a giant suction arm on the right side. Capcom has provided a base model, and fans are encouraged to build their own ideas on top of it..
With a week left to pre-order the Deluxe Edition of Mega Man Adventures Volume 1, Udon Entertainment and Zoop have slipped us a small preview of Volume 2, featuring Proto Man front and center.
Like the first book, Volume 2 will receive a Deluxe Edition packed with extras, sold exclusively through Zoop around May 2026, once Volume 1 begins shipping. A standard edition, more widely available online and in stores, is also on the way.
For the uninitiated, Mega Man Adventures is a line of hardcover collections for Archie’s Mega Man comics. Each volume includes new short bonus stories that reunite writer Ian Flynn and artist Ryan Jampole.
You can pre-order the Volume 1 Deluxe Edition through Zoop, and the standard edition through Amazon or your preferred bookseller. More updates on Volume 2 (and beyond) are coming soon.
