Capcom says Mega Man is one of its most important IPs, “continuously considering ways to develop it further”

Mega Man has been missing in action for many years now, but Capcom apparently hasn’t forgotten about the franchise.

The company was recently asked about plans for the series during an investor Q&A. In response, the following was shared: “The Mega Man series is one of our most important IPs, and we are continuously considering ways to develop it further. However, we do not have any additional information we can share at this time.”

Capcom was also asked about expectations regarding revenue contributions of merchandise sales from Mega Man series. The company said it sees “a particularly high volume of inquiries” about the franchise from overseas markets and “will
continue to focus on expanding this business further.”

The last major Mega Man game was Mega Man in 2018, which came to Nintendo Switch. Capcom has also dropped a few collections, including one for Mega Man Battle Network in 2023. If we’re talking new content though, it’s certainly been awhile since the IP was given a brand new, major title.
