Mega Man Override is the main focus for Capcom right now, but beyond this new entry, the developers behind the series are apparently open to returning to the Mega Man X series.
During a chat with Game Informer recently about the new title, Mega Man series producer Shingo Izumi was asked about the chances of ‘X’ making a comeback and said it’s an “important series” that the team at Capcom would love to revisit if given the opportunity.
Shingo Izumi: “From my perspective, yes, that is something we would definitely love to visit… Mega Man X is an important series within the Mega Man brand. We definitely value that series, and if there is a chance, we would always love to consider that.”
If you are eager for a Mega Man X fix, you can check out Capcom’s existing Legacy Collections available on the Switch.
As for the immediate future, Mega Man Override will be launching for Switch and Switch 2 in 2027. Capcom is also building excitement for the Blue Bomber’s 40th anniversary with collabs and crossovers, such as a skin in its new game, Pragmata.
