Overview
- Capcom announced Mega Man: Dual Override will arrive in spring 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
- The Nintendo Direct presentation showed the first playable footage of Proto Man and confirmed he will be a second playable hero alongside Mega Man.
- Proto Man plays at close range and must manage a heat gauge, which contrasts with Mega Man’s focus on ranged attacks and changes stage approach and combat pacing.

- Capcom also unveiled new Mega Man and Proto Man amiibo to accompany the release and teased Mega Man-themed Pragmata cosmetics while promising more details on amiibo function and exact release timing later.
