As Capcom gears up for Mega Man’s 40th anniversary next year, more findings related to the long-running IP are surfacing online.
As reported by Mega Man fan site Rockman Corner, a production titled ‘Mega Man Legends‘ has appeared on ACTRA Toronto’s “What’s Shooting” database (a public listing of production registered with the Canadian performers’ union) this week.
It’s filed under “new media” and the production start date was in September, with it scheduled to wrap up by December. Casting is apparently in house, but that’s all that’s known about the mysterious project.
As the source notes, “new media” could be everything from “video games to television and film”. It’s also mentions how Capcom “could be looking to Canadian voice talent as an alternative to SAG-AFRA Actors” after “Mega Man: Dual Override became the subject of a SAG-AFTRA ‘Do Not Work’ order” earlier this year.
Mega Man Legends was originally released as a 3D video game in 1997 and was followed by a second game in 2000. There was also a prequel spin-off in 1999, and a cancelled third entry for the 3DS.
This latest finding also follows a rating board classification in Korea at the end of last month. It featured various classic Capcom console titles, including multiple Mega Man games.
If we hear anything else about this listing, we’ll provide an update.
