Mega Man: Dual Override Game's Trailer Reveals Twinkle Girl, Protoman

  • On Tuesday, Capcom unveiled a new trailer for Mega Man: Dual Override during Gamescom Opening Night Live, introducing new boss Twinkle Girl and returning character Protoman alongside gameplay footage.
  • This upcoming entry marks the first mainline game since 2018's Mega Man 11, introducing the 'Override' mechanic that boosts attack power but leaves players vulnerable to damage.
  • Capcom additionally revealed a Mega Man costume is 'coming soon' to its sci-fi adventure Pragmata, though the company has not announced a release date or how to obtain the skin.
  • Amid labor disputes, actor Ben Diskin announced he will not reprise his role as Mega Man, citing the production's refusal to sign a union contract following a March SAG-AFTRA order.
  • Scheduled for a 2027 launch, Mega Man: Dual Override will arrive on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
