Capcom has announced an exciting global contest inviting fans to design a brand-new Robot Master for the upcoming title, Mega Man Dual Override.
Building on the legacy of the beloved Mega Man series, this initiative offers creative enthusiasts across Japan, the Americas, Europe, and Asia the opportunity to contribute directly to the game's development.
Mega Man Dual Override, set to launch on Nintendo Switch and multiple platforms, is already generating buzz among longtime followers and newcomers alike for its fresh approach to classic side-scrolling action. The design contest will accept submissions from December 11, 2025, to January 1, 2026.
Participants are specifically tasked with creating a Robot Master concept featuring a “giant suction arm,” an inventive directive that calls for both creativity and a nod to Mega Man’s storied history of unique bosses.
Capcom shared a conceptual skeleton to guide entrants, encouraging them to craft a distinctive character that could stand alongside the series’ iconic adversaries. A total of six winners will be chosen from the global pool of entries.
The Grand Prize winner will have the extraordinary honor of seeing their Robot Master design fully realized and officially incorporated into Mega Man Dual Override.
Additionally, five runner-up winners will be recognized for their efforts and credited in the game, cementing their place in the series' history. In an official statement, Capcom emphasized the company’s commitment to community engagement, noting that this contest allows fans to leave a personal mark on one of gaming’s most enduring franchises.
The developer highlighted the importance of creative collaboration and celebrates the inventive spirit of Mega Man’s global audience. The Mega Man franchise has long been celebrated for its imaginative cast of Robot Masters, each contributing to the distinctive challenge and personality that define the series.
