Mega Man Joins Brawlhalla: Release Date, Platforms, and Latest Nintendo Switch Collaboration

Ubisoft’s popular free-to-play platform brawler, Brawlhalla, continues its tradition of high-profile gaming collaborations.

The latest announcement brings Capcom’s legendary blue bomber, Mega Man, into the fray.

He will officially join the Brawlhalla roster on September 25, 2024, alongside his iconic companions, Rush and Beat.

First released in 2017 and available worldwide on the Nintendo Switch eShop, Brawlhalla has maintained its leading status in the platform fighter genre by regularly refreshing its gameplay with new content, characters, and major crossovers.

Ubisoft’s commitment to supporting the game with consistent updates and partnerships has significantly contributed to its sustained popularity among Nintendo Switch and multi-platform audiences alike. In the official update released by Ubisoft, it has been confirmed that Mega Man, Rush, and Beat will make their Brawlhalla debut later this month.

While additional gameplay details for these characters are still forthcoming, fans can expect Mega Man and his allies to be integrated into Brawlhalla’s diverse lineup—a roster already renowned for its inclusion of popular icons through previous collaborations.

Notable past crossovers have featured characters from Capcom’s Street Fighter, Lucasfilm’s Star Wars, Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft, each bringing unique abilities and styles to the game’s energetic battles. Brawlhalla stands out for its robust cross-play support, allowing players on Nintendo Switch to join matches with others across various platforms.

The game features a rotating cast of free-to-play characters each week, maximizing accessibility and replay value while offering premium crossover fighters and skins for purchase.

Downloading Brawlhalla is quick and free through the Nintendo Switch eShop, making it readily available to a broad audience of platform fighting enthusiasts. As a further nod to Mega Man’s enduring cultural impact, the character is also set to feature in one of the episodes of Amazon’s upcoming adult-animated anthology series, "Secret Level." This cross-media presence underscores Mega Man’s status as a beloved icon spanning both gaming and entertainment industries. With the arrival of Mega Man, Rush, and Beat on September 25, Brawlhalla’s ongoing expansion reaffirms Ubisoft’s dedication to community engagement and franchise innovation.

Fans on Nintendo Switch and other platforms eager for new brawling action can mark their calendars for this standout crossover in the ever-evolving world of Brawlhalla.
