New Gameplay Systems Arrive! Futuristic City Stages, 8 Robot Masters, Special Weapons, and More

Mega Man's New Power: Override

Override is a new system allowing robots to disengage their limiters at will, temporarily unlocking power beyond their normal parameters.
While active, it unleashes overwhelming strength; however, pushing beyond limits causes an inevitable recoil once deactivated, temporarily reducing various combat stats.
Assessing the battle situation and activating it at the optimal moment will be the key to victory!

Power Up with Custom Chips to Tackle Difficult Stages!

The new Custom Chips customization system installed in Mega Man and Proto Man allows players to modify stats and enhance various abilities!
By equipping Custom Chips, you can freely tailor your character to match your playstyle.
Select chips to counter specific stages and bosses to forge your own fighting style.

A Multitude of Challenges Awaiting You

The Mega Man series is renowned for its meticulously crafted gameplay balance that keeps players coming back for "just one more try."
That franchise DNA is alive and well in the latest title, where stages known to be even more formidable than the bosses themselves test players with intricate, beautifully designed gimmicks.

New Stages Set in a Futuristic City!

With sprawling cityscapes and colossal structures, the foreground, midground, and background are meticulously layered to create stages with more depth than ever before.
