Capcom has released a new gameplay trailer for Mega Man: Dual Override, confirming the action-platformer is under development for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch and will launch digitally via the Nintendo eShop in 2027.
The reveal adds a substantial entry to Capcom's long-running Mega Man franchise, which originated in 1987 and has evolved across multiple platforms since.

In plain terms, the publisher said Mega Man and Proto Man must work together to stop widespread robotic chaos and restore order to the city.
On gameplay systems, Capcom described new customization and temporary power mechanics.

These mechanics were showcased in trailer footage, which also introduced a newly revealed Robot Master named Twinkle Girl.
